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

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

UTEP could be next if they get TSU. The Sun Belt buyout may not be that much but CUSA is probably more.

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 hope Texas State joins the MWC. The Sun Belt road trips don't interest me much at all. However, watching Texas State play in Las Vegas, Colorado Springs, San Jose, and Hawaii interests me greatly. Go Bobcats!

Some more solid numbers should be coming out in the next few months, I think they will be lucky to get AAC numbers.

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.

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.

      A Game To Keep An Eye On

      Two years ago we went toe-to-toe with Boise State in a bowl game. Fast forward to today and Boise State has the inside track to being in the CFP and we’re trending to a #100 ranking. We have Jared Moseley and Eric Morris to thank for that. What a disaster for UNT.

      Why Support this Program?….Seriously!?

      I agree with the reason why most of our alumni don’t care. However I don’t agree with why our administration doesn’t care. I think they want to win on the cheap and not rock the boat with Old Denton. If they wanted to win they would publicly pursued and likely hired one of the high profile younger coaches that made a stop in one of our old conferences or FCS. Lane Kiffin, Larry Coker, Major Applewhite, Dat Nguyen (as a DC), Kevin Sumlin, Doug Williams, Howard Schnellenberger, Briles, Gary Patterson, June Jones, Deion Sanders or etc. Now if Zach Orr becomes a FBS head coach without going directly to a program that has not won multiple P5/P4 conferences title or New Years 6 bowls since 1980 without his agent getting a call from UNT it won’t be a surprise. The only coach hire I was ever slightly excited for was Dan McCarney. I have followed this team as a knowledgeable CFB fan for 25 years.

      Yeah....Army has a ways to go. They've actually got Notre Dame (neutral site--Yankee Stadium I think).....then host UTSA.....then the AAC championship game (which, as you say....will be against Tulane). But Boise has to lose.....for their to even be a chance.

      2025 DC Wish List

      This is my worry of having a younger HC running the show. Do they have the contacts and connections to be able to hire experienced coaches? And, will these experienced potential DCs believe in EM and his style knowing they potentially could be hung out to dry with all the aggressive nature of Morris’s playcalling? Also, will they realize EM could be on the hot seat, so their time could be limited? Lots of things to unpack going to a school constantly underperforming year after year.

      A Game To Keep An Eye On

      What I'd love is to see Boise State and Tulane both run the table and both end up in the playoff. If Colorado can lose one and BYU can lose a couple, I wonder if that opens the door for 2 G5s. "What have you done for me lately?"
