New MWC Possibility:

[KaneFan29]

Report today came out stating they want: Memphis, Tulane, and Texas-San Antonio as their TX school.

Don’t mind him. Fans like Hollywood think UTEP is the belle of the ball.

don't discount CUSA has being a "lesser" conference than the new MW minus the 4 teams. Think "BIG" we need the PAC12 ,
Senter make it happen...

Yeah I think Senter should aim for the PAC12 as well but that scenario only plays out if the PAC12 doesn’t land the teams they want from the AAC, some MW teams such as Air Force and UNLV defect to the AAC, and then the PAC12 has to kill the MW to survive.

This is what I thought was as plausible but Kanefan has changed my thinking on this.

I think PAC12 gets their targets and UTEP is invited to the MWC.

Idk if UNLV goes AAC or Pac12, but I know they want out after the 4 teams defected. UTEP will probably get invited to MWC, but the remaining teams will be UNM, Wyoming, San Jose St., Utah St, Nevada and Hawaii (Football only or all sports still up in the air) I personally would prefer that especially if the remaining MWC could convince La Tech, Texas St which would get a larger TV Deal in this case than the Sun Belt and SHST to come along. That would be the absolute best case scenario for UTEP with Cali, Rocky Mountain and Texas teams in the conference. besides. The PAC 12 which ain’t happening at least anytime soon!

Today’s article mentions UTEP, Texas St. and Sam Houston as top prospects for MWC.

A couple of you guys have an obsession with La. Tech. Please explain.

Me personally… I feel like we’ve been with La Tech long enough to consider them a rival in both sports. I like having a team like them still in the same conference. La Tech has been an a decent FBS and D1 team for years and is established more than those other new FCS teams.

For sure UTEP has reached out to the MWC. Unsure about the Pac 12. I don’t see a problem if they haven’t. Them reaching out to the Pac 12 is like a 55 year guy asking Natalie Portman out on Twitter.

Good thing my 66, thought you were monitoring my tweets.

I wouldn’t mind if LaTech went to the MWC, as long as it isn’t at our expense. Personally, I don’t have an issue with them at all, but I just think that they should be with eastern teams. Especially if they’re going to be the most eastern team by themselves.

Stay with CUSA, hope for AAC if I am them.

They would be a good travel partner for SHSU if Texas State decides to stay in the SBC. Ruston is only 250 miles from Huntsville. Kinda makes sense.

 

[FiliUTEP]

Utep and NMSU should start it's own conference. Start like a 8 team conference. These conferences are getting to big.
This would be my conference idea.

The leftover conference

UTEP
NMSU
Southern Utah
Utah Tech
GCU Basketball only

Tarleton State
Incarnate Word
Texas A &M Corpus Christi
LA Tech

Yeah, they’re perfect for that area. I haven’t seen them mentioned at all for MWC expansion. I would be surprised if they’re brought in. I would rather see LaTech than Sacramento St, UC Davis, Cal Poly etc.

Does Mexico have any schools that can join?
