BCS leagues expanding - yeah?

New Mexico State? Memphis State? Y’all are daft.

 

NMSU for me is more a sentimental choice. Been there three times and have enjoyed it and Las Cruces.

The No, 8 team won't move the needle, whether it's Texas State or NMSU. And I'm just not a fan of "eastern" (to me) schools like Memphis and Tulane being in a western conference.

No point in pursuing a current MWC team. Need to fix that problem, not pour more gas on the fire.

 

Both campuses are east of the Mississippi (in Tulane's case, it's more north of the Mississippi, but close enough)

 

Get a load of these assholes!

 

They did say that.

 

Northern Illinois is expected to join the MWC for football-only today. Probably Missouri Valley for its other sports.

Kind of a lateral move, but it will give the MWC some Central Time TV options 5-6 times a year.

 

You might not be, but if it's more money Memphis will jump in a heartbeat. I can't speak to Tulane.

 

Oh, I know. But I also think Memphis will want special treatment (added money to offset travel, etc.), the same kind of BS that sunk the Pac-12 because USC wanted a larger share of the TV money instead of across-the-board revenue-sharing.

Any new member, I want them all-in, and I'm not sure Memphis will ever do that. Texas State and NMSU would be.

 

Memphis in your conference is going to be a pain in the ass. It's a rule.

 

I think the Missouri Valley is quite the upgrade from the MAC when it comes to basketball.

 

Well Boise State is already there and holds its own in this category. So the two can play together.
