  1. All I know is that it was an effin nightmare... When you give a school like that the biggest share, it's for one reason.. You're naturally putting ALL the eggs in that basket to be your hope for the access bowl.. When Coach Pete left, you got Arkansas State's HC to pied piper your football brand. That's not good. Nightmare scenario. The other schools should have been compensated, so that maybe one of them could improve and maybe lead. But that didn't happen. Your hands were tied.
  2. The MWC suffered a nightmare scenario when they lured Boise back with the carrot of unequal revenue sharing only to soon lose Coach Peterson... I don't think the conference ever recovered. Does anyone feel buyers remorse? Shouldn't Boise have had to give back the money?
  3. ^^^^^^^^^ THIS IS HOW YOU DO MEMES!!! THERE ARE SO MANY SEMIOTIC SIGNIFIERS OF SIGNIFICANCE HERE. Kustra really FUBARRED this league. Make no mistake about that... But he's suffering for it... Dude coulda been part of a best of the rest and now is just part of the crap that's left.... Coach Pete is gone. lol. The MWC is paying premium prices for salami.
  4. I really wonder if the MWC will eventually be ripped apart by teams pursuing their individual best interests. A team like San Diego can easily forward their Olympics programs by joining the Big West and playing in a higher quality regional league. Leaving the MWC, like BYU, and playing Indy in FB will arguably better the perception of Aztec football as well. It certainly has for BYU. It's a scary time to be an Aztec. The upcoming media negotiations will likely result in the MWC streaming their content, solely, for peanuts. Mountain West Football and Mountain West Basketball have slid to MWC/CUSA/SUNBELT levels. When Kustra chased the short-term bribe/money grab/unequal revenue distribution, and returned to the MWC... He essentially forfeited Boise and San Diego's spot in the "best of the rest". He killed the Broncos and Aztecs chances at upward mobility. He didn't learn from TCU... TCU NEVER TOOK STEPS BACK... You take steps back and you're screwed. ABSOLUTELY SCREWED... Because you're aligning yourself with underfunded peers. (who are even worse off after giving up revenue to lure Boise) San Diego and Boise are now in quicksand. When the Big 12 implodes, they are on the wrong side of the fence. Being in a ONE-BID CONFERENCE ROTS the strength of all of your programs. ALL OF THE MWCS BEST TEAMS HAVE SUFFERED. MWC Basketball is going the way of MWC Baseball. MWC football is irrelevant... Playing each other in bowl games and sending the MWC Champ to play the AAC #6... If I were a Boise or San Diego fan, I'd be PI$$ED. There's no going back. In 2020, the DEVOLUTION will be complete.
  5. Rankings are one thing... Perceptions are another... The MWC has no powerhouse.
  6. The Alliance was the best chance for the MWC. Shoulda stayed the course under the CUSA moniker. First 16 team superconference
  7. It's sad because UNLV can recruit their butts off but at-large MWC bids depend on the bottom of the conference being adequate... and - like CUSA - the MWC just doesn't have any SOS whatsoever. MWC and CUSA are mirror images in basketball. UNLV is recruiting pretty much like WKU... the rest of said conferences are dumpster fires. Would scoring a Grand Canyon U help matters? I say it couldn't hurt!! What say you people...? Once you're in 1 bid land, it's nearly impossible to traverse your way out. How do you propose to get started? Can the MWC start cutting teams?
  8. If you don't think your athletic budgets (I.E. EXTREME LACK OF INSTITUTIONAL COMMITMENT/FUNDING) didn't create what we're seeing, I have a bridge to sell ya.
  9. Here's the rankings mofos... 1. Big 12 2. SEC 3. ACC 4. AAC 5. PAC 12 16. brokeback mountain MWC http://warrennolan.com/baseball/2017/conferencerpi
  10. WHACHU TALK BOUT... BOISE IS A TRUCK DRIVING OUTFIT!!!!!!! lmao It HAAAAAAAAAAD to chap the buttocks of the academic schools to PAY THOSE MOFOS the lionshare of the money... creating a conference ghetto with 1 bid sports!!!
  11. Update: VALPO just announced as a new member for your challenge league, the MVC. ;'-D
  12. I've never seen a conference so beholden to "special deals" as the MWC. Not only does Bob Kustra bend the conference over a barrel and have his way, but Pubic Hair Thompson bends over for Air Force Olympic Sports too. This conference has really no one else to blame for the conference ghetto it has become. That's what happens when you use NO LUBE, RAW DOG BABAY
  13. FORGET ABOUT WICHITA STATE... Here's a little sum sum more in line with your current teams.
  14. I'm not a "sock" I've been here long enough to be an institution on this board. No idea why you were buying that notion in the first place. I didn't tell you to be gullible.
  15. It wouldn't be fair if I clubbed you with a Big 12 stick now would it? Nothing I've said is a lie. I don't know why you're getting so lathered up.
  16. The law of unintended consequences holds a bit of a fascination... and levity. The MWC message board scratches that itch. For instance, when San Diego State fans or Boise State fans are losing their shit now about the potential AAC contract, that's good shit! While they calculate the numbers in their heads, the shrinkage comes through with each keystroke. How can you not let that whine breathe...? And just sit back, and comtemplate..
