-MWC main target is TXST right now.

Well according to Pete Thamel, that’s not happening.
MWC should tell New Mexico to get over their feelings and invite NMSU.

This part concerns me.  It's not the first time I have heard about the PAC coming after AAC teams again with new tactics and offer$.   One article said if the court lowers the poaching fee penalty for the PAC to pay the MWC then they will use it to lure AAC teams again...

McMurphy on 365 sports- 

-PAC is not targeting TX State at this time, thinks Pac will double back on AAC schools.

I feel like the MW is going to fight like it's their last breath to get the full amount agreed upon. These two conferences are basically at war with each other, there will be no concessions. The MW also has the luxury of time, as even if they don't have 8 teams in place when their teams leave, their 2 year exemption doesn't start until 2026.

MWC commissioner Gloria Nevarez got her law degree from UC Berkeley and also is married to a Cal Berkeley lawyer. Apparently she's one tough cookie and with her father being of Mexican descent and her mother a mix between Filipina and Irish, I bet she puts up one helluva fight.

This a fight for survival is also symbolic with the rest of the nation watching. Get your popcorn ready.

I didn't know she was a lawyer, yeah I bet they had the wording in that contract air tight. Haha that sounds like someone you don't want to mess with. She's been a powerhouse so far, I hope they take the PAC to the cleaners. Not just to keep the AAC safe, but for stabbing the MWC in the back after they agreed to help WOSU when they were in a bind.

Agree it’s a fight now.  It shouldn’t have come to this.  
They could have all merged, under the PAC banner if they desired, and been the best  Western FBS conference.  
Now they are talking of watering them both down with FCS move ups.  
$tupid! 

If things stay as they are in the AAC we come out better in all of this. These two conferences basically weakened each other.

Gloria has also won on the optics, going to the commish of targeted programs letting them know of her intent. 

I think this is getting interesting because I do think some programs in AAC could get lured again. Us not one one of them. But Tulane and Memphis could be money whipped I would think. 

The Texas State decision surprises me. I would think getting into a league with another Texas player and having UNLV, New Mexico, Reno and the Miners swing their basketball teams through San Marcos would be tempting. Head scratcher.

Don't discount the not wanting to be the only team in the Central Time Zone....playing teams in Mountain and Pacific time zones.

They'd be on a pretty far island by going to the MWC, so I could see why they wouldn't want to go. Plus they would get a $3M or so bump in money, but far more travel.

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      It has nothing to do with justification. It's all about the $$$... We are not Texas A$M.

      What is this program missing?

      You can wish in one hand and shit in the other and see which fills up first. The way I see it we have three options we control. 1). Find that one coach who can do more with less, cause,…we’re always going to have less even though we have great facilities(the current NIL and Portal environment is COMPLETELY unsustainable for this program and you are a fool if you think otherwise). We must avoid the coach who approaches the “Square Peg Round Hole” mantra and is instead willing to go outside the box. There’s men out there like this; Coach Fry & Coach Nelson showed us this. Willie Fritz, Hughe Freeze, Bronco Mendenhall, come to mind. But these dudes are rare. And at NT, in this stupid environment they will always be under the greatest threats of losing staff and players to the P4 that we cannot counter monetarily. 2). Be the first FBS school to approach the remaining G5 and push to form a new league separate from the NCAA and structure a more affordable and common sense scholarship structure that includes non compete clauses and/or contract obligations for ALL athletes. Don’t tell me this can’t be done. Stanford now play’s Florida St in conference so anything is possible if we have the will to do it. 3). Move to the FCS and dominate. We would instantly be at the top of the recruiting chain with facilities and location, and be at a more sustainable level of NIL. Anything less and we’ll continue to just chase our tails. Rick

      I hope we lose to Temple

      Unless any of you have $5-10M to donate right now to Athletics for EM's buyout and New coach salaries then you're just a Mob howling in the wind. It's not happening; we can't afford it. We've been on this road before with Seth, Benford, etc...

      AAC Trend - Year 2 of 5 Firings

      How can the AD justify keeping Morris if you lose to a 2-8 Temple team with an interim coach?

      Are any of these fired coaches defensive minded. They know the AAC and could focus on one angle of the incredible game. GMG
