More movement by the deadline. https://www.si.com/college/boise-state/football/boise-sta... One more MAC title and we should look to exit next year. 🙃 Back to Top M.D.W.S.T General User Member Since: 12/23/2021 Post Count: 2,789 Status: Offline     RE: Mountain Less    Posted: 6/2/2025 1:51:51 PM  Air Force, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico, Northern Illinois, San Jose State, UNLV, UTEP and Wyoming. Will be interesting to see how that TV deal stacks up.

I guess you have to put out a second press release to make it "official" official. What this really tells me is that the mediation taking place between the MW and PAC is not going in the MW's favor. The MW was banking on those exit fees to keep the conference going and also attract new schools (like NIU).

Idaho or Montana/Montana St?

Idaho or Montana/Montana St? Right now all eyes are on UNLV. They were thinking of going to the PAC with the rest, but they were convinced to stay by the MW essentially making them the banner program for the conference. If they leave? Oof it's gonna get ugly in a hurry. Texas State has also been rumored as a candidate for both conferences, but I think they're more of a last case scenario for the PAC if they get to desperation hour of needing that 8th school for full time football membership. The thing about the Dakota and Montana schools is that if you recruit one, you have to take the other. You're not getting NDSU without SDSU also, or Montana without Montana St. Last Edited: 6/3/2025 4:08:51 PM by GoCats105 Back to Top ExCat21 General User Member Since: 9/29/2014 Post Count: 1,156 Status: Offline     RE: Mountain Less    Posted: 6/4/2025 10:23:23 PM  We need stadium renovations for Big12 so I'll stick with AAC. In all honesty, the 5 schools (OU, Miami, Toledo, BG and Buffalo) should come together to form the Mountain East side of the Mountain West. Would help with NIU, have 6 teams in the region and creates a great dynamic to the conference.

Akron is on life support but I don't see leaving Kent behind even as pathetic as they've been recently.

"Replace them with Western Michigan and you've got something that makes sense." This input was based on that person's knowledge of the various institutions' long-term commitment to athletics.
