Dirtball Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 Stop it. SDSU wants nothing to do with the AAC as it relates to football, basketball, baseball and every other sport outside of womens rowing. "Make like a tree and scram" - Rosegreen Your administration is the reason why our basketball league is bleeding out currently. If you didn't insist on San Jose being in the MWC, so you guys would have someone that votes similar to SDSU, every team in the MWC wouldn't have to play 2 games vs. a team with a 330 RPI ranking EVERY season. You guys are as stupid as you are desperate. - Cowboy Junky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did not say when they showed interest, that is political speak. National media all reporting that SDSU and Boise told the AAC to get +++++ing lost, but the AAC can save face saying they only approached schools that reached out to them first, and while SDSU and Boise did reach out to them in years past but still turned them down, it was the AAC begging on their knees this go round National consensus is that the AAC was told to go +++++ themselves by Boise and SDSU, Aresco is using fancy language to downplay that. Pessik is not inline for a ban. He is just stupid and has been stupid for years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboMan59 Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 @utgrizfan, question... are the University of Montana, and Montana State, joined at the hip? Would politics in Montana, allow the Grizzlies to move to the MWC, without MSU? Would you two have to be a package deal, or nothing at all?

If they want to join, fine, lol. If not, Wichita wanted to join at one point, another one of Hair's brilliant moves. Yes. AFA MIGHT be the equal of SMU in football but CSU certainly isn't and Memphis is superior to all the other three. Then there's basketball. AFA is awful and CSU is just average whereas Memphis is among the elite G5s and SMU is very good too. Alas, the MWC commissioner is as inept as the Aresco Athletic Conference commissioner so it will never happen.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But here’s the thing that happens. When you face stronger competition other variables come into play. Recruiting - Montana produces maybe 2 DI athletes per year? Northern Nevada only produces a handful but it’s 2 hours from Sac. Revenue? Are they going to jack their football tickets to spend the $$ other programs benefit from because of larger market size? Winning breeds attendance but they are going to win at the same clip? No. Especially on the road. I actually like both of those programs. The problem is they have it right. It’s us MWC programs who have it backwards. Football isn’t built for teams to chase the elite 20-30 programs. It's changing but the issues still remain. An Iowa St. (for example) has no chance of playing with the big boys and that pursuit is getting reckless and stupid with the money that’s being thrown around. So is a UM coming to the MWC? I don’t think it’s very likely or probable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d bet both of those program suffer significantly based on the loss of the best programs in the AAC. I think the MWC experienced similar when TCU, BYU and Utah bailed. Boise football was a saving grace. Fresno football has had its moments. Nevada and USU basketball have been decent. But there needs to be consistency and that has not been the case.

Even if the MWC doesn't retaliate, if the Aresco Conference takes AFA and CSU, it's a net gain for Herr Thompson and the Molehill Worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s been huge on the hoops side. You fix those two programs and MWC basketball is infinity better, especially with the loss of AFA who always sucks at hoops.

Offer any combination of SMU/Memphis/Tulsa, and UTSA… then let Gonzaga know that they can strike an “espn sweetheart deal” like BSU, and join us in basketball! Gonzaga yes. SMU yes. I think Memphis would rather stand pat and hope for a B12 invite however. But, to be honest, I don't see us adding anyone if the to Colorado schools leave. Still don't see how it makes sense for CSU to leave. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For a very minor sport, sport. Again, we are in the Pac12 in Men's soccer and currently rated 14th. That doesn't mean we are a Pac-12 team.

SDSU said there was no way they would accept such a deal. Now, the AAC offered SDSU to join as a full member and we said no. The AAC, as it stands right now, is a worse conference which is why Aresco is desperately trying to backfill. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
