Seems unlikely the Montanas will be in the MWC. Networks would want Tarleton or Sac St over them anyway

Wishful thinking probably. Though GCU officially moving could change their thinking. I still believe they would rather stay with their current setup than associate with UTEP and San Jose St.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 don’t know about sour grapes, probably just upset they’re not going join, just a few months after doing so. GCU is a polarizing school because of their academics and recruiting - of normal students.Sour Grapea and there’s no Gonzaga, so they are not what they used to be!
I’m not sure, but they should. Especially when they have to add Texas St.I agree, but ni news so far. I’m sure PAC 12 will come calling though
If the PAC-12 doesn't call, they have a big choice to make. Do they want to run a conference and have an easy pass to the tournament in a one bid league or do they want to go to a potential muti-bid league?Wishful thinking probably.

If they go PAC 12 that’s literally a Major Basketball League with 5 or more bids a year! Right now MWC looking like a 2-3 bid league, so still a step up for Utep.If the PAC-12 doesn't call, they have a big choice to make.

Yeah I think the only reason that Texas St. didn’t go to the MWC is because the PAC 12 may still come calling. If I was a betting man and I am I’d say this is how it looks rn.I’m not sure, but they should. Especially when they have to add Texas St.
2-3 bid league is currently what they are. To keep the status quo they need to leave the WCC. Grand Canyon may have just broke the WCC dam after Gonzaga created the first major crack now that I think about it.If they go PAC 12 that’s literally a Major Basketball League with 5 or more bids a year!

I don’t know if Texas St would even leave to the MWC if the Pac was a non-starter.Yeah I think the only reason that Texas St. didn’t go to the MWC is because the PAC 12 may still come calling. If I was a betting man and I am I’d say this is how it looks rn.
St. Mary’s Basketball only 25%
Toledo/NIU Football only 50%
Marketing St/Sac St. 30%
Sam Houston St. 20%
Texas St. 10%
Other FCS School 10%
And what a quick surprise. The possibility was announced of joining the MWC and 3 days later it was a done deal. What a change of fortune!Absolutely thrilled with the addition of GCU. This is a fantastic addition. Just add one football only school and call it a day. I couldn’t be happier with how this turned out for UTEP.
I doubt very seriously they base their decision on UTEP. Just another post by you to denigrate UTEP.Wishful thinking probably. Though GCU officially moving could change their thinking. I still believe they would rather stay with their current setup than associate with UTEP and San Jose St.
If PAC ads Texas St. and there were two 8 team Football Schools and two 18 team basketball schools there would be 6 or 7 NCAA Bids coming out of this league and probably a guaranteed NCAA Football Playoff representative each year. However like you said it probably won’t happen.I wish the pac and Mwc would just merge .. that would be fun… I know it won’t happen but…
Also I am hoping moving to a better conference will help recruiting…
They would not base their decision on UTEP and that’s not what I said. If you don’t like what I have to say, you can ignore my posts.I doubt very seriously they base their decision on UTEP. Just another post by you to denigrate UTEP.
Getting damn close to it, but than who would I bitch at?They would not base their decision on UTEP and that’s not what I said. If you don’t like what I have to say, you can ignore my posts.
If you’re gonna add FCS, should just add Sac St or Tarleton St.Common sense prevailing.
Eventually after they get some national championships in their trophy case or MW is desperate.If you’re gonna add FCS, should just add Sac St or Tarleton St.
That’d be a way Better Option anyways!
Liberty and Coastal Carolina never won national titles in FCS. Not even a championship gameEventually after they get some national championships in their trophy case or MW is desperate.
And that’s why they’re in the lowly belt and crap USA.Liberty and Coastal Carolina never won national titles in FCS. Not even a championship game
Let’s be real, Liberty has far too much baggage otherwise they would be courted by the ACC/B12. Sun Belt is also a significantly better league than CUSA - there’s a reason ODU/Marshall etc jumped ship when they did.And that’s why they’re in the lowly belt and crap USA.
I’m not sure about that. Big 12 and ACC have poached from other P5 leagues. Yes the SB is better than the worst conference in the nation. Not really saying much.Let’s be real, Liberty has far too much baggage otherwise they would be courted by the ACC/B12.

I also don’t understand the St Mary’s stuff. The WCC are all small west coast private schools and St Mary’s is in the driver’s seat to get the yearly auto bid. Makes most sense to call up Sac St then Tarleton but I have also seen rumors of the MW calling up the Dakotas and Montanas.
However it doesn’t matter, because CUSA got the money and representative in the New Years Bowl lolI’m not sure about that. Big 12 and ACC have poached from other P5 leagues. Yes the SB is better than the worst conference in the nation. Not really saying much.
Agree. That would be two easy wins year one for UTEP in the new MW. Oh wait........If you’re gonna add FCS, should just add Sac St or Tarleton St.
I’m not advocating the MWC to add both, just one or the other. If it were up to me, I would just add NMSU and call it a ****in day.Agree. That would be two easy wins year one for UTEP in the new MW. Oh wait........
Are those FCS schools still better than La Tech?If you’re gonna add FCS, should just add Sac St or Tarleton St.
Fvvvvvvvvvvvvvvck no. I would take LaTech too, but I personally don’t think it makes sense for them. Remember they’ve been there, done that in the WAC when Hawaii was there with them. Just don’t think it would be appealing to them.Are those FCS schools still better than La Tech?
I think it's appealing to them but I'm not sure how appealing it is to MWC. Everyone wants out of CUSA except the schools that can't afford to leave.Fvvvvvvvvvvvvvvck no.

If they’re apparently willing to add schools from Ohio, Illinois, and North Dakota, I am sure they would take one from Louisiana. Could be a football only issue and LaTech isn’t interested in that.I think it's appealing to them but I'm not sure how appealing it is to MWC.

Outside of pulling a current FBS team other than NMSU, I don’t know if there’s any “absolute win” to get. Seems a bit biased to me.NDSU Football only would be an Absolute Win for the MWC, that’s all I know!
Nope Absolute Win! NDSU would start off like James Madison and would be a Boise State in 10 years! Absolute Win, Period! I just didn’t think it was really going to happen, because I didn’t think they wanted to make the jump! Best option so far except for maybe Texas St. However now after getting Grand Canyon for Basketball this would be a great move and no more moves would have to be made for awhile. If they do this I think an overall pay out of 4-5 million per team would be realistic.Outside of pulling a current FBS team other than NMSU, I don’t know if there’s any “absolute win” to get.

I think NDSU only makes sense as an all sports add. And i would love to add them.NDSU Football only would be an Absolute Win for the MWC, that’s all I know!
What is this House Settlement Lawsuit ?
Mostly $2.8 billion in backpay to former athletes distributed over a 10-year period and some other stuffWhat is this House Settlement Lawsuit ?
