MWC looking at Texas State and Northern Illinois.....

"The Mountain West, after receiving signed commitments Thursday from its seven remaining member schools to stay in the conference, is already looking at adding more.

Texas State, which would be an all-sports addition, has emerged as a target for Mountain West expansion, sources told ESPN's Pete Thamel on Thursday night. Another target that could soon come into focus for the conference is Northern Illinois, which would be as a football-only member."

I don’t even know that the new MWC is an upgrade over the Belt.

Anyone else feel like he's signaling to the PAC to make a better offer? 

He is a little cocky about Memphis.  He has been AD there for all of 2 months and implies they may have better offers in the future than the PAC. That whole fanbase thinks they should be in the Big12. So does UNLV's, lol.

"Our aspiration is to compete at the highest level," he said. "I don't know if that's going to be the AAC, the ACC, the Big 12. That's why I said in the beginning, this is fluid for me."

I’m rooting for the MWC. They have a chance to flip the script now that they held onto two solid brands. Texas State would be a great add and Northern Illinois would be solid too. Let the pac go get UTEP Sam NMSU or LaLa for their final member.
