Sounds like Texas State is number 8 for the PAC and the Texans are number 8 for the MWC. I don’t know if that is a good brand move for the MWC.  Need to keep UNLV and Air Force content. Even Sam Houston would be a stronger candidate. NMSU is too close to UTEP for  a second add. 

Gonzaga to the PAC make sense but now they are looking at Saint Mary’s and Grand Canyon which is an awesome riding bball program. Utah Valley State would be another good basketball consideration. That basketball league would be legit:

Gonzaga

Grand Canyon

SDSU

Saint Mary’s

Boise

Utah State

Colorado State

Utah Valley State

Texas State

I saw several west coast  pod casters mention Tarleton State as a MWC target but discounted it. However since UTEP accepted MWC invitation today it might make sense, especially if TSU and SHS declined. Unfortunately for NMSU they are too close to El Paso and I doubt UNM was much help in their cause.

An offer to Tarleton has to be a joke.  
NMSU, Sam Houston, or LaTech would be far better. 
 

La Tech has gone down hill and is a long ways away for all sports. NMSU is too close to El Paso, has no money and declining enrollment. SHS was probably a package deal with TSU which I can only assume is not moving to the WAC. The sleeper is SAC State,in the 29th largest media market, building a new 25,000 + new stadium, and announced today they have $50 million [yes, I said million] dollars pledged to their NIL.

Tulsa (AAC) had to go to overtime to beat LaTech.

If you’re the MWC, you want established, quality members for your next media contract coming up shortly.  
If you have no FBS options left and need to promote an FCS, I would call NDSU.  Nationally known product and great fan base. 

Plus it’s now a $5mil NCAA cost to move up to FBS. 
The MWC should just take NMSU and be done with it.

Word is that TSU said no to the MWC. Also none of the Montana and Dakota schools can afford to move up. The cost is $5 million plus 80 scholarships , NIL, and media market about the same as Wyoming. I would think Sac State would be the 1AA play . New Mexico State appears to be the last resort. Interesting times, but the MWC seems to be a step ahead of the PAC 7 although getting the ZAGGS is a great move for their basketball image.

      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?
