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.

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I am torn on what to do with EM, but I know he needs to go. Many say we need a HC with head coaching experience at the FBS level. I know there are HCs at other FBS programs doing more with less, but would they come to a place where historically it's difficult to win consistently and risk it all if their eye is ultimately on a power conference job? Then if you take a P4 conference former HC, they have most likely been fired and they may not get the mojo back like Tom Herman at FAU or Charlie Strong. So, if that is the case where do we go? Many are saying no FCS HC or no more coordinators who have not been a HC at this level. Again where do we go if not those type of guys? My thought is that you may have to hire that guy that this board has been reluctant to go after. That's the guys who have had issues somewhere else and that's why they are no longer where they are. Lane Kiffin had issues and FAU gave him the chance to resurrect his career. Alabama gave Sarkisian (spelling) a chance to resurrect his career and he is doing good things at Texas. We have tried a lot of things, but we have not tried that route of HCs with some skeletons in their past. I feel that if that coach wins, people will forget about their past. I am sure people at Texas have forgotten about what went down with Sark at USC. Just my opinion because we have been striking out for a long time on HCs.

      In case you’re a Yeti collector

      YETI has a collegiate collection. I didn't get a chance to snag one of the above, so I'm hoping that UNT will become available on their website. Eventually?

      Eric Morris needs to go

      I'm not sure what the path is for Cobbs long term. A lot of us would absolutely love to have him in a HC role in Denton, but we want to see him gain HC experience first. Do we take a chance and give him that crown? Do we watch him leave, and possibly not return...ever?
