FresnoFanatic Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 1). MW, and all G5, dissolve because P5 muscles us out next Playoff contract....all G5 drop to FCS (minus BYU lone P5 football independent). Big West expands.... BigWest FCS football (9)... Hawaii San Jose St UC Davis Sac St Fresno St Cal Poly SUDS Nevada UNLV BigWest Non-Football members (8 for 17 total, and suds basketball wish for 16 game basketball conference schedule)... UC Santa Barbara CS Northridge CS Bakersfield UC Riverside LBSU CS Fullerton UC Irvine Grand Canyon If the worst should happen, I'd be cool with this. Tight geography, many close away games to go to, low travel expense, keep our California, Hawaii and Las Vegas recruits out of mountain states for the most part....tap into Phoenix high school basketball recruits too.

utgrizfan Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 Honestly based off Warbows picks I only see the following teams having a chance to survive for one reason or another: 1. Hawaii: Independent 2. SDSU: Conference Invite 3. Boise St: Conference Invite 4. Air Force: Independent or Conference Invite If they left it would be a simple fix for the other schools, form a new conference and add some schools from the collapsing CUSA or top FCS teams: Great West Conference: Nevada, UNLV, Wyoming, CSU, UNM, SJSU, Fresno State, USU Potential Teams to add: Montana, Montana State, NDSU, SDSU, Idaho, NMSU, UTEP, Rice, UTSA, UNT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brew_Poke Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 20 hours ago, Warbow said: yep that's only because you have mwc teams as part of your home schedule. can you live or schedule teams to come to reno as an independent? i'm sure you could live off the body bag games for a few years but your attendance will drop to the lower teens for whatever FCS team you can schedule at home.

wolfan8431 Posted April 10, 2017 Share Posted April 10, 2017 20 hours ago, Warbow said: hey, it's a serious question. just curious to see who thinks they have a football program that can survive on their own and not ride the coat-tails of others It's a silly question because it would never happen. I think the underlying message is that Hawaii could go independent. And they should, please. You've made it clear that you're embarrassed to be in the same conference with Nevada & Wyoming & probably SJSU. You pay subsidies but it's still a long flight for the guys & an expensive trip for fans. MWC fans can't watch the games. We don't need you for a championship game anymore. After BYU & Nevada Hawaii is the best attendance for UNLV so there's that. Administrators of Mid West schools would love to go to Hawaii in the dead of winter so you could find late season games. You wouldn't have to pay subsidies but it's expected to pay visiting teams so that's a push. As an independent you couldn't win a conference championship but you're not now so that doesn't matter. Nevada was the first mainland school to travel to Hawaii to play a game so there's a long history with MWC schools. There would still be games with MWC schools to fill your schedule but all in all, I don't think you'd be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I keep hearing how strong your programs are in this Trailer Park Conference (TPC), mainly from the range schools who we know can't survive on it's own. Wyoming had been riding the BYU's coattails for decades yet their fans are the biggest proponent of keeping BYU out of the TPC because they found another cash cow in Hawaii and Boise St to support them. SJSU I can live with in the TPC because they know their place in college football and don't think they are the next Nebraska or Boise St. Nevada is harmless and I don't mind them in the TPC just don't think they survive without a conference. UNLV and San Diego St. are monster programs waiting to break out. Pac-12 material after their stadium gets build. My issue is with Wyoming mainly. They need a conference to survive in FBS and pretending to be a strong hold in this TPC when we know they're the biggest leech of any college football team. Half the US doesn't even know that Wyoming has a college football team.
