Crow never tasted so good! What a comeback and fight to rally for the win. You take the win, GMG!
Still I think we all agree, there is lots of things to clean up from this game. Too many mistakes making things harder than they need to be.

Too many mistakes on both sides of the ball. Offensive play calling has been bad, two touchdowns called back just because we weren't lined up right. Defense let's them do whatever they want, can't stop the run.

There's nothing like waiting until mid October to release a schedule that starts at the beginning of November.

Oh wasn't aware of the later deadline for the MWC but that makes sense. As for the Pac-12, 2026 is the deadline but I could see them getting some sort of extension since the NCAA is spineless.
Yup, you have 2 year grace period starting when teams depart, not when they announce departure.

UTEP, Colorado State, Utah State
UTEP is going to the MW not the PAC.

They don't need to rush to get anyone in, the MW will have until July 1, 2028 to get 1 more member in. If the PAC doesn't get 8 by their deadline I don't know what happens, do they disband or do they not have a season?

Gloria has also won on the optics, going to the commish of targeted programs letting them know of her intent.
I think this is getting interesting because I do think some programs in AAC could get lured again. Us not one one of them. But Tulane and Memphis could be money whipped I would think.
The Texas State decision surprises me. I would think getting into a league with another Texas player and having UNLV, New Mexico, Reno and the Miners swing their basketball teams through San Marcos would be tempting. Head scratcher.
GMG
They'd be on a pretty far island by going to the MWC, so I could see why they wouldn't want to go. Plus they would get a $3M or so bump in money, but far more travel.

Coaches for pretty much every sport except football. However, I do NOT know how often road teams get paid by the hosts in nonconference. Would love to get informed on that front.
Then they are doing a poor job and JM needs to come down on them for continually being weeks and sometimes months behind on releasing the schedule. I'm not saying it's easy, but you can't tell me we should be having a harder time to schedule than our conference mates who all get their deals done.

The Tech game was our chance to show where we stand against higher level competition, and we totally embarrassed ourselves. I can't blame the writers for feeling that way, we need to show that game was a mistake if we want to get higher consideration. Go out on the field and prove it.

If the PAC really put their pride aside they would fully merge with the MWC and use their war chest of $$ to make it the best G5 conference.
But it’s all about these Conference Commissioner$ wanting to be the top dog instead of what’s best for all.That's not how conferences work. The commissioner can steer the direction of a conference, throw out ideas, and talk to networks, etc., I'm not saying they are powerless, but it is the members who ultimately vote on things. If they don't like the direction things are going they can tell the commish to come back with something different.
It was said that adding WOSU to the MWC would be a 10% bump in revenue at most. They don't want to go to a conference and only make $5M a year, when they were making $21M a year before. They are doing everything in their power to not be seen as a G team, and they need to differentiate themselves from the rest somehow. That's why they wanted to poach the top of both conferences, they are shooting for that $15M a year to say, "Look, we are still above the rest of these teams." It's hubris.

The AD has changed and the head coaches have changed but our schedules remain the same. Who's at fault?
That's the heart of the question, who is actually in charge of scheduling? Is it the coaches or the athletic department?

Sacramento has a population of 4 million people and is the 20th DMA in the country. Sac State is putting the full-court press on the PAC 12 for an invite.

The PAC is in a weird place as I'm sure they don't want to take an FCS school, if your trying to build a premier conference the optics look bad. However there aren't a lot of options out there if they can't get other FBS schools to jump.

The McNeese State coach is Will Wade. Got fired at LSU for recruiting violations.....when that was still a thing.
He went to McNeese....and a lot of big money LSU fans went with him. McNeese now has lots of NIL money...and that helped them win 30 games last season.
So with Wade's reputation, and them being flush with cash.....I won't be shocked if they buy out the return game.
What a kick in the nuts it would be to have your game bought out by McNeese....

The PAC already had to take USU, and can't touch UNLV who signed the MW's agreement to stay until 2032. Gonzaga will also get a full share with no football which is 70% of a media deal's value. Outside of San Diego what other large metros can they pitch to networks? This seems like a mess already.

Here's why us going down there first.....really disappoints me. (as a season ticket holder)
So far our home OOC schedule sucks. Partly because of some of the teams....and partly because of dates for games.
We right now have two decent (not great) home OOC games....Evansville and Oregon State. Evansville is scheduled for November 5. (Election Night). Oregon State is scheduled for Nov. 25 (the Monday of Thanksgiving Week....when students will be gone).
The other two home OOC games (so far) are Dec. 18 and Dec. 22 (Christmas break for students?---I know the 22nd will be). Also...the 22nd is a NFL Sunday. If that game is at night....the Cowboys (who might be way out of it by then) play Tampa Bay on Sunday Night Football. Anyway.....those two games are against Houston Christian and Miss. Valley State.
I relish being there....but I also relish being there with as big a crowd, as possible. So far this home OOC schedule leaves a lot to be desired.
And what I fully expect....when they finish it up...........we will have some games on better dates (when students are around and not on Election Night)......but those games will be against Div. II or NAIA schools.
I hope I'm wrong on this.
But as this schedule now sits.....it stinks.
And for some odd reason....the Evansville game was moved from Nov. 16 (a Saturday) to Election Night. Makes no sense.....from our standpoint. I can see Evansville wanting it then.
I've been hammering scheduling for the last few years, and I'm glad that at least all of my whining has brought attention to the subject. I feel like I was going crazy seeing this glaring flaw while everyone else thought it was no big deal. I'm tired of the "no on wants to play us" excuse. There's a reason we are always so late to finish our schedule, it's poor management.
*edit to add:
Looks like Tulsa finished their schedule a week ago. They also got Oral Roberts and Ok State at home.
So we are officially the last team left without a finished schedule. Saturday we will be 30 days out from the season starting.

For McNeese.
We should have definitely pushed to have the home game first, but as long as they make the return next year it's a good team to have on the schedule.

Agree it’s a fight now. It shouldn’t have come to this.
They could have all merged, under the PAC banner if they desired, and been the best Western FBS conference.
Now they are talking of watering them both down with FCS move ups.
$tupid!If things stay as they are in the AAC we come out better in all of this. These two conferences basically weakened each other.

MWC commissioner Gloria Nevarez got her law degree from UC Berkeley and also is married to a Cal Berkeley lawyer. Apparently she's one tough cookie and with her father being of Mexican descent and her mother a mix between Filipina and Irish, I bet she puts up one helluva fight.
This a fight for survival is also symbolic with the rest of the nation watching. Get your popcorn ready.
I didn't know she was a lawyer, yeah I bet they had the wording in that contract air tight. Haha that sounds like someone you don't want to mess with. She's been a powerhouse so far, I hope they take the PAC to the cleaners. Not just to keep the AAC safe, but for stabbing the MWC in the back after they agreed to help WOSU when they were in a bind.

This part concerns me. It's not the first time I have heard about the PAC coming after AAC teams again with new tactics and offer$. One article said if the court lowers the poaching fee penalty for the PAC to pay the MWC then they will use it to lure AAC teams again...
McMurphy on 365 sports-
-PAC is not targeting TX State at this time, thinks Pac will double back on AAC schools.I feel like the MW is going to fight like it's their last breath to get the full amount agreed upon. These two conferences are basically at war with each other, there will be no concessions. The MW also has the luxury of time, as even if they don't have 8 teams in place when their teams leave, their 2 year exemption doesn't start until 2026.

Geez. So we're now going to McNeese for a game? And they're very good. But have a hard time believing....we couldn't get them to Denton for a game.
If they are coming to Denton in the future I say that's a good deal, if not that is poor negotiating. Still, out of the types of teams available I'd rather play McNeese than some others out there.

Glad for UTEP, they've been isolated and forgotten for a long time. They naturally and culturally fit in the MW, but were always passed over, NMSU too.

No, its the MWC. TSU is the key to the MWC getting in Texas. If TSU moves the MWC goes after UTEP and/ or Sam Houston.From all I have read they want at least 2 schools in Texas.
Then those money figures have to be way off. They lose the top half of their conference but get almost a 50% increase? I just can't believe that.

I think the TV money that some of these leagues are offering....is about as legit as the $100k that the UNLV (ex) QB claims he was offered.
Some more solid numbers should be coming out in the next few months, I think they will be lucky to get AAC numbers.
-
Yeah, the money doesn't seem to add up. They were getting $4M per school and the top half was taken away, I don't see why they would get a boost from losing their best schools. I wonder if this is a misreport and they actually mean the PAC?

I disagree. It looks bad now, it should have been done weeks ago.
