The entire thing is stupid. Breaking up a damn good basketball conference to boot.

It's not the conference per se, but teams are a part of this collective. I've been pretty vocal about UNLV and Fresno. Those programs should not be where they are. Hut has been there for over half a decade and the program is still shit. CKK is no better and UNLV should get rid of him before they lose a half decade. SJSU and AF get a pass from me for now. They are improving but have limitations.

Eh let them. Neither school is a Basketball powerhouse. WCC is going to be weak for a long time. BYU was bigger for the conference than Gonzaga. This isn't some MW snobbery since I have my own issues with this conference when it comes to basketball. This conference is stable though. Would love for them to join, but MW shouldn't bend or break to accommodate.

If every conference has a chance with all champs getting a bid, it could change the recruiting landscape as well. 16 is ideal 9 champs 7 at large.

Do they still use the track in Mackay?

This Tulane shit is just too much lol

More AAC talk? Why?

I'm actually guessing that this new mini NFL would be 20 to 30 teams at most. So, alienating a lot more.

Just reading messages (not just here, but that is a sentiment). A lot of the beggars have SJSU, USU, UNM, UNR and WYO at the bottom and ready to jettison.

True. Expecting the rest of us 80 to 90 university fans to care is questionable.

Yes but semi pro with certain schools will only generate so much interest. No minor league brings in big bucks or views. Nobody cares about minor league baseball/basketball on TV. If football goes this route, I doubt I'm the only one that would stop watching. The whole purpose of the other 80 programs fanbase to watch college football is that there are rivalries and there is a chance to be in a high profile bowl game/playoff.

No breaking up the MW 12. Don't destroy this conference and leave schools behind like the asshats did. There have been improvements going on in the MW in regards to football/facilities. No matter what your thoughts are on SJSU, they are creating a culture and working to improve their facilities. UNM and Nevada have been good in football before. This conference's problem is coaching stability. How many coaches have we lost in the last two years? Now outside of football, get rid of good BBall programs USU, Nevada and UNM? Who would replace those programs? Not OSU or WSU. USU and and UNM have some of the best BBall arenas/atmospheres in all college hoops. According to my spreadsheet, 2023 MW BBall is the best recruiting class collectively we have had in the last 5 years. 2022 we were the 4th best conference in hoops? I do believe this new conference needs a presence in Texas to really accel. Doesn't matter though, It will all blowup in the future trying to be a mini NFL. I just hope they don't destroy MM. Just my .02.

I just don't understand this thinking on Aztecmesa. This is not better than what we have now. This is worse! Plus there is the travel. What stage are they in? Maybe I'm spoiled with how this was the first board I joined. Is Aztecmesa what a true homer board is? Since calford is more than likely headed to acc. My new conference idea #999: Oregon st Wash st Boise Fresno Sdsu Colo st Unlv Smu Tulane Rice Think smu and Tulane would be much happier with another school in Texas. I also think we would get more per school (less of the pie to share) with a smaller conference but schools with at least some name recognition. This conference is good as it going to get until the big ten and sec finally split off and become the nfl’s official biatch. That would be a massive improvement vs the MW

The crazy thing is, the big schools in the pac 4, the two shittiest in football are Cal and Stanford (2022) and cal was like over 300 in basketball. Why oh why would anyone go there. If they let their programs go down like this while in a power conference, what the f makes you think they will get better in a crap conference like the new aac/pac?
