Yup.  Pretty much proves your homers just made that TV market shit up. You're in because you scammed the confernece into thinking you'd invest some money into your athletic program. And this, I actually can provide some evidence for.

Case closed. 

If you truly believe that the television market wasn't the single largest factor in SJS being invited to the MWC you're an even bigger moron than I thought.

LIke i said, saying something over and over doesn't make it true. Come back when you can quote something other than your homer board. 

 

You're not going to scam us like you scammed the ol' mental giant, Craig.

What are the professional sports teams and major sports competing universities within a 50 mile drive of San Jose?

Off the top of my head:

PROFESSIONAL

49ers

Raiders?

Sharks (NHL)

Warriors

A's

Giants

Earthquakes (MLS)

 

COLLEGE

Cal

Stanford

San Francisco

Santa Clara

Saint Mary

 

 

It's really tough for San Jose State to find fans, since they might be below every other team listed above in interest.   Compare that to a school like New Mexico St, which is the only show in town (albeit a small town), and claims a large portion of fans in the State of New Mexico.

I think SJSU might be fighting a losing battle.  SJSU really needs to get creative to get more fans.

New Mexico state is not in the MWC because of terrible football, but for stunner to make light of SJS basketball arena is rich given the temples that make up the WCC.

Honestly, there isn't a single WCC gym thatis as bad as SJSU.

Santa Clara is just down the road from SJSU.  Maybe SJSU can work a deal to share Santa Clara's gym?

Bullchit! NMSU claims no more than 5% of the fans in New Mexico. UNM gets 85%. The rest is spread between ENMU, WNMU, and New Mexico Highlands University. No one cares about the Agholes.

Sean, I'm a New Mexican citizen, and I disagree.  NM State has much more than 5 percent of fans.

Then they've taken a page out of the SDSU book and gotten very good at disguising themselves as empty seats. NMSU is the only FBS team that needs juice box and orange slice donations. No one in New Mexico outside of a 2 mile radius from the NMSU campus gives a crap about the Aggies.

Sean, have you ever been to Pan American arena?

It's actually partially nicer than the Wise Pies, believe it or not.

I played basketball there in the 80's in the State High School Basketball Tournament. The Pit is hands down a better arena.

Very few in the SJ/SF/Oak market care about SJSU.......why not invite Cal St Hayward ?!?!

True dat. I've been up in the Bay Area on business several times over the last year and tuned in KNBR680 on my rental car on each occasion. The number of times I've heard the various talk show hosts mention San Jose State is absolute zero. Not saying they never do but what good does it do the MWC to have a member in a huge metro area when the local media considers that member to be only the tenth or so most important local sports entity? At least during basketball season, even St. Mary's gets more coverage on KNBR.

That said, I'll renew my request that somebody link an article or articles which discusses why the MWC added both USU and SJSU. I took a vacation from this board when SDSU had one foot out the door so would have missed anything posted then and it just makes no sense that the Molehill Worst replaced the Aztecs and Boise with TWO schools instead of just one.

Boom goes the dynamite.

Good question and I had a few extra minutes this morning to look up the years they were in the WAC together to compare.

When both NMSU and SJSU were playing WAC football schedules, their average attendance was:

2012 - NMSU  14,247    SJSU  10,789

2011 - NMSU  15,138    SJSU  18,214

2010 - NMSU  15,906    SJSU  14,474

2009 - NMSU  16,511    SJSU  15,344

2008 - NMSU  17,756    SJSU  20,952

2007 - NMSU  14,412    SJSU  15,465

2006 - NMSU  17,596    SJSU  18,854

2005 - NMSU  12,557    SJSU  12,506

NMSU had higher average football attendance in 4 out of the 8 years, SJSU was higher in 4 of the 8 years.

Yep. When the Aztecs visited NMSU in 2010 there were about 1,000 more people in the stands than when we visited SJSU in 2015 and in 2015, probably at least 10% of the fans were Aztecs whereas almost no Aztecs traveled to Las Cruces. So there might be other reasons SJSU was offered MWC membership rather than NMSU, but football attendance is basically a wash.

You gotta admit, it is a huge upgrade over what SJSU currently has.
