MWC leadership has a chance

[Agzrule]

To be build a premier basketball conference while at the same time performing a paralyzing blow to the AAC, and cementing itself as the top G5 conference.

We do this by adding SMU, Tulsa, Wichita State, Gonzaga, and St Mary’s. By doing this the MWC will be an annual top 5 basketball league with 5-6 tourney bids each  March.  That’s a lot of extra tourney credits, tv money will also be significantly higher. Adding these new tv markets and brands to our league and footprint would be huge.

This setup will reduce cost of travel  in Olympic sports and will allow travel partners in basketball.  

In my opinion this is what the conference should do at this point, strike while the conference expansion iron is hot.

The MWC has really improved its quality of play on the field the past few years and now seems as stable as it has ever been and now seems to have some leverage to make itself stronger.

Tulsa sucks.  Might as well get NMSU.

but really their is no need to expand.

I'd just try for Gonzaga as a BB add and leave it at that - an even 12 in BB & FB

You lost me after hoops were mentioned.  Only Nevada makes the cut for the upcoming hoops season.  With fringe Colorado State.

Early look at hoops 2022 March Madness.

We would have a chance if we had "Leadership."

We don't.

I don’t think Gonzaga comes unless we are adding more quality bball programs, Tulsa, Wichita State, and st Mary’s accomplish this
