That’s how talks look. None of this my sources say blah blah…
New MWC Possibility:
- Thread starter nattybry
- Start date
Well if the MWC doesn’t call out name maybe we’ll be in line to replace Texas St. in the Sun Belt lol 😆 They’d probably take San Houston over us though. It must be nice to be wanted. A little disappointed to not hear our name yet, when Utep has no made it obvious that we want out of CUSA!
Good Texas State fans are annoying. But so are Sam Houston fans. 🥴🥴🥴
Unless you post also as INCONFUSAUNOT he was not responding to a post by you. Do you post using multiple handles?
Seriously, Natty. Everything you said there has been said by others, including me, and we didn't need a "source" inside UTEP to say exactly what you just said.
Pac12 not dead?
3) We are still in play. Stop acting like ***** on social media, it's embarrassing AF! Isn't this the reason for social media?

The cities are more similar than people realize. TJ and Juarez yes. Not San Diego and El Paso

Slow down, friend. Take a breath. Read what others are saying before you regurgitate the same thing while claiming you heard it from a "source" inside UTEP.
I disagree, man. The PAC12 has few remaining options yet they still need schools. UTEP is in a once-in-a-lifetime window of opportunity right now. They can get into the PAC12 if Wilson/Senter are savvy enough to pull it off.
I can't wait for when teams will be saying that about Utep. 😁😁
Other selling points for this unlikely scenario:
We have a cheap buyout compared to other options and are in the footprint of the West. Travel and travel costs wouldn't be too much of a burden. We also bring them into Texas obviously far away from the Texas Triangle but still closer than their current schools. It seems like the city is producing a higher caliber of athlete as well, some of which are P5 level. We are University that owns its own market and still somehow puts 1 or 2 large crowds in the Sun Bowl a year despite the on the field product.
We can dream.
But if we as fans and alumni and the city want this move as well, are we willing to put our money where our mouth is and help fund a move as well? We would need to give and help support the projects that UTEP feel is necessary.
It shouldn’t be a hard sell if PAC-12 level opposition came to El Paso in both football and basketball. The big question is whether football can elevate themselves to where they can make a competitive game out of that type of opposition.
yeah right, Senter and Wilson are talking to the janitors who clean the offices of the MW and PAC leadership
Again, UTEP is Plan Z. They will try to turn anyone in the East before they knock on UTEPs door.
I agree 100% And the problem is that we don’t know if it is a possibility and I don’t think UTEP can sell any conference on the idea of “We can raise more funds if we get in a better conference.”
UTEP isn’t going to publicly campaign because it’s a terrible look if something goes wrong. This is going to happen before November.
lol, talk now and all we can do is wait and see if news down come out regarding Utep. Corona for the record again for the 100th time, cause I think you and some people in here like to embellish and add to what was said. Utep has Reached out….. Utep has Reached out….. I don’t know how many times you all need to hear it until you understand!!! I don’t know if or how much the interest is mutual from the 2 conference’s however.
I don’t even know what you’re talking about anymore, No I don’t and this will be the last time I respond to a troll like yourself, Good Day Sir
Exactly, Natty. You're not paying attention. You're rushing into replies. Vegas replied to a post by INCONFUSAUNOT and you replied to Vegas as if Vegas' reply had been to you.
Again. Slow down. Take a breath. Pay attention.
Usually why it’s called “insider” and why would anyone else in America care about lil ole UTEP
You also said “UTEP has their sights set on the Pac” and gave that happening a “25%” chance. That is not the same as saying UTEP has reached out only.
If you believe it’s unlikely, then UTEP definitely does not have their sights set on it and the % is way way less than 25%.
Kane this was already covered. You’re bringing up the same thing I already addressed. Again that’s just my wishful thinking. I have no information supporting that the chances would even be close to that high. I also said after thinking about it, it’s probably closer to 10 or 15%. All I can say is Utep inquired what what it take to be considered and is being proactive to get into either conference. Many in here said Utep wasn’t being proactive and I wanted to correct that.
Didn't hear that word nearly enough last weekend in Lake Charles.
Ok then.
Yes, some think they’re not being proactive. Senter cannot just go out and say it. They want to believe he is the reason why or why not UTEP will leave or remain in CUSA.
Also Natty was correct in saying it's Wilson that needs to get things moving not Senter.
Sure, but they’re both irrelevant to the decision. Team X either adds more value than UTEP or they don’t. Conference X will add whoever adds the most value. College sports is a big business, this isn’t 1975. Whoever is friends with Wilson or Senter won’t pass up more money so the Miners can join.
I agree with that. We can make a decent argument that UTEP basketball is a good addition for any conference along with cross country, track and field. Problem is that dead corpse that is UTEP football.

Don't know how reliable their info is but...
Well here’s the thing….. it’s technically not. Hear me out…. Utep football sucks, but still averages more than more than half of G6 teams. When we do win we are in the top tier of G6 schools. So the fan base and the history of the Sun bowl may help a bit. Ultimately though yes Utep football is a traditional loser and that does hurt, but there are ways to twist the perspective a bit.
The positive thing is that the pickings are slim, and not many schools will make the jump from the AAC or Sun Belt. The PAC will most likely up their offers to the AAC schools and offer to pay higher percentages of their buyout. If not, then UTEP could be in the running there.
The MWC options are even slimmer. Theres UTEP, NMSU and then FCS options. I don't see Texas State jumping to the MWC, but could see them making the move to the AAC if offered.

Yeah they posted on Twitter a couple hours ago and realized afterwards it was just a repost. Oh well.
He natty. Thanks for the info and making the call to your inside onnection. Good insight too.
That's more useful info than 95 percent of stuff in this thread.
And try to ignore the crap flowing from nowins/Kane. It stinks up the board.
