New MWC Possibility:

[KaneFan29]

I will say this about NMSU from a fan perspective only. I don’t think there’s many fans that would rather have UC Davis in the MWC over NMSU. However, being in a different conference will “improve” non-conference schedules. A winnable football game and 1 or 2 decent basketball games.

Them being in the same conference really hurts the basketball schedule.

So Clemson and FSU leave the ACC and ACC go after Washington State and Oregon State. Then the PAC is finished. 😁😁

If Mountain West does this ...can Utep afford it?? I wonder how UAB will be able to afford it??

AAC requiring minimum $10M payout to athletes

The American Athletic Conference will require each member except Army and Navy to provide athletes with at least $10 million in additional benefits over the next three years.

Probably nothing. Just some juicy stuff they don’t want out there. Likely money related.

This is not a feather in UTEP's cap, this is a lack of transparency on their part and should not be cheered on.

Not surprising. Nevada media has a reputation as fairly good research hounds on corruption, back room dealing, unfair trade, etc. but usually in state/regional politics. This is kind of surprising.

Only local media who will investigate is EPMatters but they are digital and lack financial resources to fight. I have been telling you all for a long time UTEP has a steel lid on their business matters, academic and athletic departments. (I.e.-the Aerospace leader ouster, engineers depart after grant problems, all within past year. Athletics, Golding contract extension, years of underperformance from Dimel and all fans/boosters get is a "50/50" comment from Wilson, the Floyd debacle, 4 years of underachieving from Golding!)

Very true, probably would piss a lot of people off if they knew UTEP was NOT broke. They could do more for athletics.

Agree everyone says it’s cause Utep is broke!? It’s not that, it’s simply that they will only allow a certain amount to be allocated to sports!

The AAC ( 1 bid league) is done. 😂😂😂
