...... makes an offer to Tulsa

You sure about that??

It's a question. I think the answer is in the Alley. Our UCF friend should pay the fee to engage!

I think right now we are on the outside. terrible last 10 years

 

[drboobay]

Ok I will briefly engage.

If they came to us now, all things considered, we would decline.

 

[Oak775]

You sure about that??

Just say no…

Sending all the non revenue teams, and revenue teams, to the West Coast is a losing proposition.

Media coverage, West Coast, lousy.

Nah. Take a pass.

I find it hilarious that the MWC schools are basically jumping to a new conference which will be the exact same as the conference they're currently in with no promise of additional access to anything and no additional eyeballs or TV exposure than what they currently have. I think this is the real reason why Memphis, USF, and anyone else that may have been approached decided staying put is a better short term proposition. And unlike the MWC where the PAC-2-4-6-8-10-12-14 likely said the joining fees would be waived, likely not the same for Memphis et. al. and the AAC exit fees are pretty steep.

And I think the AAC should make some concessions to Air Force to pull them into the mix. MWC is not going to let them go easily.

ESPN was reporting yesterday that Texas State and Northern Illinois are the top prospects for the Mountain West. Both the MWC and the PAC still need more schools to meet minimum requirements.

The NIU proposal is football only. No word on where they would park their Olympic sports. Tex St would be a full member.

Texas State makes a little bit of sense, NIU makes zero sense. NIU and the MAC are a match made in heaven. MWC should focus on the Dakota schools and trying to get them to jump to FBS.

They really think they can pull in the Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio and Chicago markets with this move.

That's comical. They're literally the only game on after 9pm and no one in the EST or CST time zones watch. That's the PAC 2-4-6-8-10-12's problem and why they could never finagle more $$$ out of the networks to bring them up to even with the ACC and Big XII (that and their commissioner was a complete buffoon). This is why the majority of options being discusses right now are streaming only options. The MWC is not going to get more than that nor are they going to get more than the AAC.
