I didn't answer the door. Couldn't tell it was USPS, they kinda looked creepy in my shadowy porch through the eyeglass. I'll be picking it up from the post office after 4 though.
I'm sorry but you finding someone creepy is funny given your chosen avatar!

You are correct UTEP did drop baseball, in 1985 I believe, but the reason why I think UTEP will get an offer is because of Location. They are geographically located closer and it would make more sense for them to be in the MWC.
SMU on the other hand has a better shot at the MWC than UNT because of name recognition. People know the SMU name more than UNT. Being in bowl games the last couple years with a Head Coach that has gotten lots of publicity will do that for you. So if the MWC looks for immediate expansion then SMU is in a better position than we are. I dont like it, and it sucks but right now SMU is higher than UNT on the national media list. Thats why if the MWC wanted to stay in Dallas it would chose SMU over UNT.
That being said, I do believe that UNT is putting the right pieces in the right places to grow over the next couple years, but it all depends on why expansion happens. If the MWC holds off for a couple years than UNT could potentially jump up even or ahead of SMU. It all depends on when and if the MWC looks to expand. If its right now then UNT is at a disadvantage, if its in a few years, who know where we will be?
Oh and btw if you read the last sentence in the paragraph about baseball, in my original post, it says that SMU does not have baseball either.
I would have a hard time sending my son or daughter to UTEP because of it's proximity to Juarez. Here is a story I just came across on the newswire regarding drug gang violence. Beware this is not for the timid:

Also came across this story re UTEP students killed recently by drug traffickers: http://www.elpasotimes.com/news/ci_16560525

Chico, don't be discouraged,
The Man he ain't so hard to understand.
Chico, if you try now,
I know that you can lend a helping hand.
Because there's good in everyone
And a new day has begun
You can see the morning sun if you try.
And I know, things will be better
Oh yes they will for Chico and the Man
Yes they will for Chico and the Man.

Never, is a long time. Actually, if you want to look at untapped sources than NT has to be near the top. The big 12 schools by virtue of being in the Big 12 have larger resources but there are huge variances between the top and the bottom. The privates have some very big donors but not near as many alums. The facts are that NT got into the fund raising business late and frankly has never had the continued success or the focus to build up relationships that lead to big donations. With the new student fees, better facilities and hopefully more wins; there are substantial reasons for NT to grow donations. NT does have a lot of alums with big money, the trick is going to be to sell a a lot more of them on the athletic program.
Nice post Grand. +1
The name recognition on this hire is so critical for the reasons you point out so well.
