Damn, 17, I thought you knew this? Head on over to wcsboard. The rebel bball game chats have been lifeless, although I think the current state of apathy in the program is mostly to blame.

I’d rather have the rabbits. Sorry.

Should’ve made this move 13 years ago when they initially jumped to FBS. Could’ve built up their brand by beating up on the netherlings of the MAC and then try to make their way up the conference food chain before now. They waited too long to make a move but they had to do something now to try and make the playoff as staying as an independent didn’t give them any chance at all.

I know we really wanted them at the time, but Wichita State’s bball program has fallen off a cliff once they canned Marshall. They fired the coach that replaced him after last season, and the new coach isn’t doing much better. 8-12 this season so far, and their end of season NET ranking has progressively been getting worse each year: 87 two years ago, 112 last year, and currently at 148 and will fall lower tomorrow as they blew a 15-pt lead tonight vs Tulsa and lost. Surely the AAC is no longer happy with that addition to their conference.

No ‘might have’ about it. It was by far the stupidest.

I have a feeling that this will go about as well as it did when they originally joined CUSA in ‘98, which is basically what this is (CUSA 4.0) so many years later. Whatever the money is that the AAC is giving them, it isn’t worth it, imo.

Certainly would make each regular season game a lot more meaningful. My question is who picks the first go-round of which teams are in the P12 and which are in the MW? Base it on last season’s computer rankings? Media writers? TV execs?

Tbh, I think Wyoming makes the cut. USU would be one of the two left behind which should bring you great pleasure.

Oh wait, I’ve been told that’s a dumb ass take, so nah. Ain’t gonna happen Except that I agree 100% this is what most likely be the outcome. SJSU and USU can fight it in court but it won’t change anything. Strength in numbers and history be damned, that wont mean anything moving forward and if the conf does decide to go to 14, I would be shocked if the play isn’t for Memphis and Tulane instead of SJSU or USU.

They weren’t in the WAC yet. Airport meeting was in ‘98 and LT didn’t join the WAC until 2001

Some folks here are pushing the narrative that NO and Louisiana are too far ‘east’… nvmind the fact that schools in this league spent many years as conference mates with Louisiana Tech all the way up in bfe Ruston.

This x 1000… why tf anyone in the MW would want UNT to join is beyond me.

Alright then, even if we’re taking only fball into the equation I’d still rather have Memphis and Tulane over UTSA and UNT. The point really is to break the back of the AAC and make them CUSA 3.0/4.0

No thank you to UTSA and UNT. Their oly sports aren’t very good (although UNT is a lot better than UTSA). If we’re going after a school for oly sports only you go after Gonzaga first and foremost before WSU

Go after Memphis and Tulane after the PAC 2, reneg the tv deal, and call it a day.
