New MWC Possibility:

[KaneFan29]

Cal wasn't very good. The Texas win was good, though, but it wasn't with UTEP.

Don’t waste your time trying to reason with him

Well now that Texas St. is out that would seem like a wise move. I know Tarleton St. is talking to the MWC, but I think MWC needs to Bolster the football side and N. Illinois and Toledo would help! So then C. It is lol

C. UTEP, UNLV, SJSU, Wyoming, Nevada, UNM, Air Force, Hawaii (Football), N. Illinois (Football), Toledo (Football) St. Mary’s (Basketball), Grand Canyon (Basketball)

Boom Done!

No. They need 1 more full-time member.

They know the PAC needs them. I don’t see the PAC convincing the AAC schools to bail.

So with Texas State out I guess Tarleton is up. Interesting that Tarleton was higher on the priority list than NMSU. I would have even thought La Tech would be better.

One and done: UNM and NMSU men's basketball will now play just once a season

Twice was nice, but it's now one and done for the annual in-state hoops rivalry between the UNM Lobos and NMSU Aggies.

safe to assume unm is blocking nmsu’s entrance into the mwc?

But MR. KNOWITALL said Golding couldn't beat any good teams.

I would rather have LaTech than Tarleton, but if their media partners say otherwise, then you take a Texas team

No, not really. Repetition on El Paso market is why they won’t be considered until there are no other options.

Can 1 school, especially UNM have that much power? I hate NMSU as much as the next guy but if we’re talking recent history, controversies aside NMSU might be the best program in this area. Bowl wins, NCAA Tournament births….. shootings……. forced hazing/sexual assaults…… I’m thinking they shot themselves in the foot with all of that stuff.

There still could be a possibility of the MWC getting to 10. Maybe in the future? We'll see.

Oh yeah so it has to be Sam Houston St or Tatleton St. thanks for clarifying

And they should get to 10 or higher.

Tarleton will get scooped before SHSU.

Tarleton will get scooped before SHSU.

Yeah that’s definitely the way it looks and probably even Sac St. I was just hoping whoever MWC goes after was already FBS, but I guess James Madison, UTSA, Georgia St. Jacksonville St, Coastal Carolina etc… I can go on and on have already showed that all they need is a year or two and they’ll all be better than us anyways! Smh I wish I was joking too lol

Now my question is how will being in the mountain west impact recruiting? Will it not make any difference ? Will we be able to be in the market for players that we didn’t have a chance with before ?

 

[NY/NJminer]

Great job to the athletic department sealing the deal. Probably fell into their lap but they still got it done and didn't screw it up. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾. I went ahead and donated to the Miner athletic club and the basketball NIL tonight as a show of my appreciation and their good work. Sounds like they were reading our posts 😁

Coaches and NIL matter more than anything else at this level.

Sounds like they’re out of the Pac too
