I'm sure everyone has heard about the rumors about SJSU and USU joining the MWC 12. While this is no guarantee I hear that if it does occur MWC would still be looking at the possibility of 14 and maybe 16 teams. The MWC wants to enter at least two of the top three tv markets in Texas. With UH and SMU showing no interest that gets them down to the metroplex and San Antonio with UNT and UTSA likely to join. With that combination they could convince UTEP to join as the metroplex has their largest alumni base. With UTEP on board maybe they could convince Rice to join to gain the Houston TV market, or most likley, extend an invite to La Tech or ULaLa. Maybe even Tulsa.

That's a great story. Tell it again.

I thought we already concluded that:

1. The only contact between the MWC and SJSU was SJSU calling a begging to be invited.

And...

2. San Jose State IS NOT in the San Diego television market.

Your ideas are intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

It's simple. The MWC just invites anyone located west of the Mississippi to join that is not in an AQ conference. Everyone forms their own TV network. It may even be a large enough consortium that it could become an AQ conference. If it becomes too large then we split into winter and spring divisions.

Everyone is happy because no one is left out unless they want to be. Each can be as greedy as they would like because there is no conference or NCAA money to distribute so nothing to share.

      Is the Portal out of control?

      Yep. The system can’t have it both ways. Either pay the kids a salary and let them pay for their schooling or stick with the scholarship system. Having hardworking students pay an “athletics fee” to support these programs while these athletes are getting a salary on top of all the benefits of their scholarship is system set up to fail.

      Is the Portal out of control?

      Because it is a bullshit system. I don’t need some kid running a podcast that gives him the attitude that he is all knowing to tell me that his opinion on the system is better than mine. It is what it is. I don’t like it. I see kids chasing dollars hoping to secure their future and probably forgoing their education. Do you really think Chandler Morris is worth the reported $1 million dollars Okie St is throwing at him? Do you think Ohio State’s $200 million payroll provided a solid return? It is not a sustainable system and is not being administered as intended. These collectives are paying kids a salary to just be on the team. It has nothing to do with marketing their likeness, their name or their image. It has turned our program into nothing more than a prep program for the P4 teams. We, UNT, spend time and money developing kids for what? For them to move along to the highest bidder and we get $0 in return. It is not a sustainable system. Why do “G5” donors want to throw money at these kids that have zero loyalty to us? What is the return? Hopefully 9 or 10 wins, a conference title and some BS bowl game only to watch our best players walk prior to the bowl game/playoffs? Sorry but the dialogue and “talking points” haven’t changed. It is nothing more than a game of greed. This is college sports with misplaced priorities that are ruining the game, in my humble opinion. That satisfy you?

      Bowl Tailgating

      If it helps any, this is where our group has been tailgating for years whenever we played SMU. Never had one problem with setting up the BBQ grill, TV, etc.
