However, UTSA has had success with Larry Coker and the previous coach Frank Wilson. Both of those coaches had losing records at UTSA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Billings Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

thedude15 Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 1 hour ago, Rosegreen said: Non football schools that have called: Utah Valley Wichita State Seattle Long Beach State Grand Canyon Gonzaga 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.
