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.

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.

Texas State to MWC is DOA.

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

-Tarleton is in consideration but not at top of list for MWC

-MWC main target is TXST right now.

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.

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

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...

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.
