I know we have some great basketball schools in this conference, let's get full members. Way too many on this site taking viagra thinking Gonzaga is the thing out there. 

I used to have performance issues... I tried everything - but then my doctor suggested Gonzaga....

 They had winning seasons under both coaches and they went bowling under Wilson.  

But overall those coaches had losing seasons in their tenure at UTSA.  I'm not saying if the MW expands they shouldn't look at UTSA, just saying to look at the schools full body of work.

And future potential.

Gonzaga is the prettiest girl in the room. No Viagra needed.

This is a complex decision with a lot of moving parts.  TV partners in discussions, President and AD's from conference schools and those interested schools.  Presentations, etc.   A lot of homework.  I would have hoped a lot of it would have been done a few months ago though

Maybe it is an ongoing thing that has been explored for several months..

It sounds like they (the board Hair answers to) was presented with one option that they were focused on and now want multiple options to consider for basketball, possibly make another run at Gonzaga. 
 

My guess is that they are laser focused on Texas, like SMU/Rice. That would bring in the Dallas and Houston market. I know Rice was interested awhile back and I don’t know about SMU at this point, just some rumors that the MWC was pursuing them 2 weeks ago. 


There’s also UTSA and Texas State but it should be obvious to everyone on the football side of things, the MWC is targeting a Texas school for expansion.

I know GCU is technically a not for profit school now, but I have a hard time seeing the Presidents accepting them into their school.  They are pretty much still a for profit system and have that stigma.

Also, they have been the driving force for WAC expansion. They seem perfectly fine with strengthening the WAC in BB and olys and letting the few schools that have FB do their thing:

I'm actually surprised they can call their conference the WAC

Did LBSU really call? I kind of doubt it as they have done basically ZERO to be proactive in sports since I have been following them for 13 years. They treat the AD as nuisance not something to be proud of. Plus for two of their better sports (men's volleyball and baseball) the Big West is actually a better conference. Sure men's volleyball would be ok as they could stay as an affiliate member in the Big West (MW doesn't sponsor that sport) or if the Big West doesn't allow that they can just go back to the MPSF for that sport. Baseball would take a hit though.

Don't get me wrong as a LBSU fan I would be thrilled if it happen but I highly doubt they are even making an effort/call to try to make it happen.
