  1. Looks good other than the tiny markets in Corvallis and Pullman. The other 8 should look for two different schools to add..
  2. Looks like an even keeled, happy go lucky guy..
  3. I don't think they let up at all in this game. TCU has a bunch of good players too. The Pack won each half of a 40 minute game. I am not sure there is much to criticize here.
  4. You don't believe they stayed focused the whole game?
  5. Rules are for the little people. This whole thing is flexible at the moment. If it was as cut and dried as this they wouldn't do it. OSU and Wazzu most likely want to drag as much money out as they can so they can buy a spot in the Big 12. I do not anticipate a full merger or them joining the MW. The plan is to get the cash. They can use it to get into P4 or build the Pac back. The 2 year grace period is the key.
  6. Is this part of the 2 year grace period to get to enough members to maintain a conference? The MW also doesn't take members who don't play football and they blew off Wichita State but courted Gonzaga.. It is a mixed up jumbled up world.
  7. They can join as an affiliate member. I would guess the Big West will get their baseball teams under the same arrangement.
  8. Probably a stupid question. If they actually "join" the MWC for basketball would they be on the hook for the exit fee when they leave to go back to poaching schools for the new Pac something or the other?
  9. Taylor Swift is now worth a billion dollars if that helps the debate any.
  10. Literally? BYU is not taking the Big 12 off the market during escrow. The Big 12 is not worried about having to evict BYU should they become squatters. There is no possible cloud on the title.
  11. I have no knowledge..Neither does anyone else here. If I had a guess no non football school has been invited.. They were reportedly talking to Gonzaga, though.
  12. People. people..We need to narrow our focus onto North Dakota State..They are the linchpin of the whole thing..Just ask them..
  13. It will make no difference..The commissioner in the MW advises the presidents but has no vote on anything.
  14. Spoiler alert.. Thompson doesn't decide anything and he will most likely be retired by 26..
  15. Nobody knows what NDSU is thinking. Outside of you and the folks in Fargo ND, I am not sure anybody cares,
  16. "IF" you really really really want to move up you have to be invited. I do not think NDSU really really really wants to move up..I am not sure there was an invite from CUSA...I have doubts that the MW is looking to add any school moving forward even if a couple schools leave. Neither the WAC or the MW has ever taken in a member directly from 1AA or FCS. This is not a starter league. Were I in charge at NDSU I wouldn't jump at CUSA either but I think I would also recognize that better conferences expressed zero interest in NDSU during this latest shuffle.. If, maybe, your only option is CUSA now, waiting around for a better option might never be coming.
  17. Some young reporter who covers Southern Mississippi broke this story that NDSU turned down a CUSA football only invitation. It has been denied by the AD and president of NDSU. So this may be some hullabaloo about nothing. However, you missed my point. I do not know the mindset in Fargo but if you really really really want to move up to FBS you do what you need to do. FCS schools have to be invited. That is how you get it started. I am unconvinced they want to move up anyway.
