Not exactly, these moves were all about bringing in markets for a TV deal. Denver, Fresno, San Diego and Boise. Though Boise is more of a brand that they are inviting. Now they will probably look to Texas for central time zone options and big markets. 

It's about TV markets but it's also about quality across the board. UNLV doesn't bring much of that to the table. It's sad but true.

Makes me think it's a mountain timezone play and closer travel in grabbing some teams from the East?  Also, having better academics might be a draw for Cal, Stanford and SMU if/when the ACC falls apart and teams are looking for a place to land.  That's all I got as to why CSU over UNLV?

^^^^

That's the first time I've ever read something that mentioned "better academics" and they were referring to Boise and Fresno.

UNLV gets in.  Why they weren't in the first round of expansion is puzzling.

[Dirtball]

I doubt the next two will be from the MWC. If you are trying to rebrand the P12. The worst thing you can do is have 6 of the 8 schools be from the MWC. It's basically MWC 2.0

The PAC probably won’t add more MWC schools, if they wanted to they would have. They had the money to invite 6 schools, per the dumb commissioner Gloria. 

It’s obvious that the PAC is now looking east, and probably going to poach some AAC schools, in turn the AAC invites Air Force, UNM, USU, and UNLV. 

This conference is toast. 

I'm thinking it will go something like... Memphis, Tulane, UTSA, and UNLV.  There is an outside shot they could convince Gonzaga to join but likely not.  

I just think this is step one and UNLV will be added in the 2nd or 3rd phase

[Beaver-Poke]

They must have at least 8 football-playing schools.

When the Airport Meeting was held to create the MWC, UNLV gave the group credibility with a Power Basketball program that was less than a decade removed from a Natty.

So the betrayal of Colorado State and San Diego State, and to a lesser extent Boise State and Fresno State, hits pretty hard, especially as UNLV has now gotten Football on track.

We've been bastardized.

I always felt the MWC was pretty safe in realignme

I always felt the MWC was pretty safe in realignment. I just don't see what the four Judases are gaining by joining a conference of TWO. Why not make them join US, and then do the reverse merger - if getting the patch was so important to you? You're paying way too much money to do something you should be getting PAID for.

I feel so bad for mugtang. Can he get the board back? I have family that went to Nevada and getting their MWC bid was their crowning achievement. Now it feels like we are being demoted together.

One thing is for sure, Gloria Nevarez is going to get every last dime we are owed, Every last dime.

I don't see why not.  Just brings more prestige to the conference.  It certainly won't hurt WSU.jmo

there is not a chance in hell they would go after north Texas state instead of Rice and Tulane

Not a matter of who they’d go after, but a matter of who’d say yes.  MWC’s media deal ends after next year, there’s uncertainty there.  The schools you mentioned are in a stable conference with a media partner that will play ball; Tulane is a long shot.  Rice maybe less so only due to still being in the introductory period, if they’re offered full share immediately there’s no way they’re going to the PAC.

It's a fact. The BOR has already communicated to the PAC that UNLV and Nevada are tied together as a package.

UNLV will get their chance at the lateral move, stop crying and pouting.  Why they weren't included in the first push, who knows, but you will make it and head there soon!  

This all won't matter in 5 - 10 years anyway, so act accordingly.
