Gloria, never let emotions run your business... On of the appealing options of Texas states is they are cheap... they are not burdened with massive exit fees. They really should be a prime target. They are everything UTSA and North Texas are, at a multi-million dollar discount. Which of course is why MWC wants them! |

This, (and while basketball has been a failure the last 2 seasons under a terrible internal hire) at least we (Texas State)don’t play D1 MBB games at the local YMCA or rent a football stadium 20 miles from campus. You deal with UTSA and you’ve gotta go through their daddy Longhorn to get a monthly allowance for everything and sign off on everything. UTSA also plays baseball in a parking lot cow pasture. “NOT PAC” |

And we can keep that all STATE conference dream alive. Maybe we can get a corporate sponsor from an insurance company. " The PAC-12 brought to you by Allstate" |

The reasons the MWC would want TSU are out shear desperation and lack of money. The Pac has more flexibility to consider TSU. |

Gloria, never let emotions run your business... Why on earth would NIU sign up for that dumb dumb deal? Means more travel further and westward and the MWC may be even weaker than the MAC. |

Thanks for posting that graphic. Tell us more about Texas State. I know it's in San Marcos, which is a pretty small town, but close to larger cities. Does Texas State have a good fan base? Donors? |

Athletic Budget expected at $60M by 2026 (new media deal increases it by more)
One pitch away from taking down #2 national seed Stanford in 2022 to advance in regionals
Softball has been a top 40 program most of the last decade
MBB won mediocre conference tournaments 2020, 2021. A coaching buyout away from turning corner.
Volleyball has won conference half a dozen times in last decade.
Graduated top 5 1st baseman of the last decade+, Paul Goldschmidt
RB went all American last year
Averaging 27K in football attendance in 2024 with plans in place to increase to 38K capacity for some better schedule draws
Around 300K people within a 10 mile radius of city limits
Enough BMD and NIL funds to for PAC movement

I'm a proponent. Wouldn't mind few roadies to Texas in the future. Was just in Austin for ACL and my Uber driver was a former RB at Te as State. He was listening to the game (about 3 weeks ago on a Thursday) and he was raving about the direction of the program |

If we get Texas State, we might as well get UTSA as well so they can build a rivalry.

If we get Texas State, we might as well get UTSA as well so they can build a rivalry. The only Texas teams that are within the Pac-12's reach without Memphis are Sam Houston, Texas State, and UTEP. We already tried to get UTSA. Memphis, Tulane, and UTSA have indicated that they will stick together. If you get UTSA, you could potentially get North Texas or Rice (if anyone actually wanted them). But North Texas and Rice are likely to stay put without a UTSA move, and that is unlikely without a Memphis move. |

Rice would leave in a heartbeat. UNT freaked themselves out at the start. And from what I've read, UTSA was sort of an after thought in the conversations w/ Memphis and Tulane at the start. Pretty certain they'd leave without UTSA. I mean, neat mascot, but that's about it. |

Pretty certain they'd leave without UTSA. I mean, neat mascot, but that's about it. If Memphis is not leaving the American Athletic Conference, North Texas, Rice, and UTSA are not leaving either. No heartbeats. None of them are leaving without Memphis. Memphis is the cash cow of the American Athletic Conference, primarily because of basketball but also because of the Independence Bowl. I will add that North Texas is in Horse Country and Rice is tiny, so the Pac-12 does not really want them anyway. UTSA is the only one that holds any true value by itself. They may leave without Memphis. If UTSA leaves, all bets are off. North Texas and Rice could probably be convinced to come, as well. But Tulane is the next-best university outside of Memphis. If you are going to start tearing apart the American Athletic Conference, invites #1 and #2 are to Tulane and UTSA. Texas State is better than North Texas and Rice in football and seems less problematic to get, because they are not in the American Athletic Conference. UTSA is important, because they play in the Alamodome in San Antonio. They would be a great add, if they were interested to come by themselves, given UNLV's response. But I am not sure how plausible that all is, given UTSA's response to the Pac-12's first offer. |
