Me too. Frees up Saturdays to watch real football games.
New MWC Possibility:
- Thread starter nattybry
- Start date
Somehow it’s less real on a weekday…tackles, hits, throws, are less real somehow
I missed this week's game entirely. Somehow it hurt less.
Apparently GCU “no showed” the last WCC meeting. Also of note:
MWC will cover $3.5M entrance fee
GCU will get $1.5M in media over the next 6 years - not specific if that’s $1.5 each year or $250k
GCU paid the WCC $16M to enter and would have to pay $1M to leave.

Good Basketball pick up I think. I also think the Toledo/N. Illinois Football only thing is gonna happen. Not a bad basketball or football league. Utep better get their Sh… together if they wanna be competitive!
You think? They’ve been to the NCAAs as many times as UTEP has in the last 32 years, the last 4 seasons.
I don’t know what the f this means, but they might be joining for basketball next year
“GCU will join the Mountain West no later than July 1, 2026, but possibly as early as the second quarter of 2025 if permitted under the conference's bylaws.“

Call me old school, but I hope NIU and Toledo stay in the MAC. It’d be nice to see be in a regional conference for a change.
It would, but if the moneys right they’ll come. If MWC could’ve had their pick I think it’d be Texas St. for all sports, but they’re holding out for PAC 12 I think.
I agree or maybe N. Dakota St and Sacramento St. they have lots of money and have been pushing for FBS status and have a beautiful stadium on the way. I don’t love the Toledo/N. Illinois move, but I just think it’s a good chance it happens
Or even wait around and see what happens during the next rounds of realignment. Good chance some of our old Texas conference mates might be looking for a home.
I think Sam Houston is dumb to stay in CUSA if MWC gave them a shot. They’re leaving lots of money in the table if they did decline.
Thank you Sam Houston for being dumb. It makes more sense for them to stay in an eastern league. I particularly don’t want to be in the same league as them anyway.
El Paso is about 3,200 miles from Honolulu and 1,500 from Chicago. Chicago seems like it would have better flight times than those to Hawaii.
The Chicago Blackhawks are in the Western Conference of the NHL
Not to most people, but it doesn’t change the fact it’s half the distance than it is to Hawaii from El Paso. If you want to think Hawaii being in our conference is regional than so be it. Facts are facts. Chicago is a lot closer to us than Hawaii is.
Yea at least the airport is close to the stadium in Hawaii. Chicago to NIU stadium is like another 1 hour and half bus ride.The Chicago Blackhawks are in the Western Conference of the NHL

And then? The Miners football team would make that trip once every 2 years. Now, every single team is going to be flying to Hawaii. Still double the flight time than the football team would take once every 2 years.
That’s cool. I still don’t like it. Would rather get teams that are somewhat part of the western side of the states.
1000 times better than CUSA. What is Sam Houston thinking?? Maybe they can't afford a buy out??
That’s fine, let’s not act like Hawaii is right off the coast of California though
Grand Canyon is a great addition. St Mary's would also elevate basketball. Is that wishful thinking? Or has anyone heard anything about this?
I love the addition of GCU. Mainly because it pisses NMSU fans off.
They have a cool game day atmosphere, good location and a good basketball program.

Sour Grapea and there’s no Gonzaga, so they are not what they used to be!
