I believe Senter said discussions started Friday or Sat, they may have contacted both...
Stephenville is definitely tiny I’ve been there. However they are truly a College Town in the truest since of the word! They support their Football and are putting a lot of money into athletics! They have deep pockets, recently expanded their stadium to FBS G6 level and are almost done with new basketball arena! To be honest they probably have more upside than Sam Houston. With that said I still would rather MWC go FBS before FCS come ups, but MWC will do what they see is best. At least where already in!
Hawaii isn’t going to be an all sports member though. Football travel isn’t a big deal. Yeah, you wish all your road games were in Texas, but now the volleyball team won’t be going to Miami and Virginia.
They do
This sounds like every other school when describing El Paso and UTEP.
Not true El Paso is not a tiny town and has not been described as such unless someone truly has never been or knows geography
We know it's not true, but I've heard it described as a "sleepy little border town" on national TV more than once. Ignorant fools
big city, small town mentality
That I can't denybig city, small town mentality
we all know it's true
westside gossip will get to the east in half a day
If I was UNM I would stop been childish and wouldn't mind inviting NMSU. MWC should invite NMSU before PAC does. Then after that you could think about Northern Illinois, Southern etc
You never know what's gonna happen in the future, you gotta make your moves when the opportunity presents it selfPAC isn’t going to convince the AAC schools to go west. They know they’ll be targets for when the ACC needs teams.
ACC won't dissolve if FSU and Clemson leave, UConn, Memphis, Tulane, USF, tabbed as potential replacements
FSU and Clemson leaving the ACC won't be the end of the conference. In fact, as media consultant Jim Williams tells me, UConn, Memphis, Tulane, and USF are twoflywareagle.com
Idk it’s gonna suck if we could have waited shit out and forced our way into the PAC.
From UTEP's perspective, adding NMSU has no value, and can actually be seen as a negative. Obviously, adding NMSU would be redundant in terms of tv market, so there is little to no financial value there. In addition, having another school so closely located and in the same league, doesn't help in the area of recruiting. If you're UTEP, you want to have the competitive edge by being in a better conference in order to have an advantage in recruiting against NMSU. UTEP and UNM can be travel partners in the MWC, as they were when they shared the same league. The rivalry games with NMSU can still happen, just as they did when they were not in the same conference. Getting another team in Texas is important for UTEP because the majority of their football recruiting will still be based in Texas. All that said, the options are obviously very limited, but I could see MWC adding a school like SHSU or LAT before NMSU.
UTEP hasn’t been able to compete in CUSA, and will likely have a tough time in the MWC. They would be killed in the PAC. These guys aren’t adding Sac St, NMSU, or UTEP. They don’t want teams worse than UNM, Nevada, or SJSU. They coulda had those guys if they wanted them.
How did that work out for UTEP when NMSU was in the WAC all those years? NMSU has been to 8 NCAA tournaments since UTEP last went.
Talking out yo ass again. Just because we sucked in cusa it has zero to do with moving forward. A lot of variables. We will succeed. Bookmark it
I would be fine adding LaTech with Louisiana or Arkansas St. That’s as far east as I would go.
You’re right, it does have zero to do with going forward. However, I will go with what I know and what’s been proven time and time again.
I feel like W. Kentucky has a Basketball name and history and Football is decent, but market and recruiting ground wouldn’t move the needle. Middle Tennessee is just an established FBS nothing more and La Tech and or Louisiana get you Louisiana which os pretty darn good for recruiting, but again not a tv market.
