It may be okay for you but you don't share the animosity we have for those cow paddies. Why would UTEP want to bring them into the fold when we already play them every year here and away for basketball and a football game in each other's house every year.

I hate the Ugglies like fans like MT do U. of Tennessee and vice versa.

Enemas U. brings nothing to a conference. It's true that they are good sometimes in basketball and dominate the WAC but when they go to the dance they come home with their tails between their legs. It happens every year and it's because they're the cream of the crop there. In football they can't even muster half a stadium and when they do it's because UTEP fans outnumber Ugglie fans in their 30k stadium which is really a dump.

You stay where you are and don't put your big nose in things you know nothing about...please.

Well, for one thing, we would get an extra OOC game in football and 2 in basketball.

IMO, the new CUSA should 100% look at the first CUSA 1.0 model as a basketball-focused conference.

If you have better ideas, share them.

Too much regionalization will only dilute any vision you're hoping to establish.

We didn't want Texas schools....what in the hell makes you think we'd want to go 4 hours past UTEP to get NMSU. If you want NMSU then you invite them back. We did not create schools in the barren wastelands of the southwest. We certainly don't have to bend over backwards to make sure they have homes for their athletics. Now take all your little ideas and shove em straight up your ass on the way back to the 'belt board.

UTEP and NMSU are just 45 minutes or so apart.

Dont hit Marshall fans with facts, they are delusional thinking they run the conference.

Just seeing this, dude seriously? We are just in survival mode trying to navigate these waters.

So just stop, UTSA would be doing the same thing if you were in our shoes. Trying to leverage your opportunities, and get a sense of the landscape before making your decision.

Yall Marshall fans have been shitting on every West division team since the talk of the American expanding started a few weeks ago. On social media and discussion boards, y'all have been putting down every West division team, especially the schools in Texas. Don't act like this is something new. Y'all wanted every Texas team out of the conference.

UTEP fans, my understanding is that you like CUSA (even compared to MWC) because it gave you access to other Texas schools.

Now that they are gone and what's left of the league is far east, would you want to join the WAC to have western and Texas games?

Other CUSA fans,
How would you feel about UTEP staying in CUSA as a football indy but moving other sports to the WAC? Now you only have to go to El Paso every other year for a single sport rather than ALL sports?
