Texas State Gets MWC Offer


SUMG

Recommended Posts

If I'm Texas St., I don't know that it's worth it. It's not the same MWC, and while some of the brands might be better than in the SBC, not by much. They'll be on more of an island than they are now, travel more, and would be joining a less stable situation. If it's the PAC12, I saw yes. MWC? Not so much.

Especially from the mountain West, I don't want to hear any of the schools complaining about revenue if they're taking schools way outside of their footprint. Gets a little bit old seeing the non-power schools try to spread their conferences across the country and then talk about cost. I will at least give the Memphis AD credit for mentioning the fact that he also had to consider the Olympic sports.

It's funny how climate change is of no concern, when it comes to far flung  college sports conferences. Y'day and Friday......these were conference football games: Stanford at Clemson; Washington at Rutgers.

These guys should be a sponsor for the ACC & Big10

I really don't see Toledo and NIU leaving the MAC....for a bunch of games in the Mountain and Pacific and Hawaii time zones. 

But......they might be tired of Tuesday-Wednesday night football games every November.

Yeah, the money doesn't seem to add up. They were getting $4M per school and the top half was taken away, I don't see why they would get a boost from losing their best schools. I wonder if this is a misreport and they actually mean the PAC?

I think the TV money that some of these leagues are offering....is about as legit as the $100k that the UNLV (ex) QB claims he was offered.

I feel like this is more about the desperation of the MWC than anything else. Long term this is probably going to be a mistake for both parties. The SBC’s best teams are too far east for the MWC to make an offer.

This is really amazing. Texas State has two winning football seasons and get MWC offer. How funny.

Correction. One winning season - 8&5 last year -  and a 2-2 record so far this year. The Texas State infatuation in realignment talk is bizarre to me. Nothing against the school, I just don’t get it.

No, its the MWC. TSU is the key to the MWC getting in Texas. If TSU moves the MWC goes after UTEP and/ or Sam Houston.From all I have read  they want at least 2 schools in Texas.

Could be Market, similar to UTSA

Then those money figures have to be way off. They lose the top half of their conference but get almost a 50% increase? I just can't believe that.

The SBC has definitely increased its brand the last couple of years.
