Yea, but no bearing on whether a team wants to stay in a conferenceQuote:

One of my sons has a “source” tight with Texas State saying PAC-12 offer is forthcoming. Hmmmm …
Edit: source is a significant $ donor on the academic side. Guess we’ll know if that holds water soon enough.
Official:
UTEP to MWC
Gonzaga to Pac 10
Both make sense.Quote:

@RossDellenger
The Mountain West has held deep and serious discussions with FCS Tarleton State, sources tell @YahooSports. MWC needs one more full member to qualify as a conference.Talks between the Texas-based FCS school and the conference have progressed.

Mountain West now talking with FCS member Tarleton State. May be a sign that TXST is staying in the Belt with the MWC only needing one more member.
Texas State is lobbying super hard right now for a PAC invite. They might get it.Quote:

UTSA is not in CDOA. They are in AAC.Quote:

MWC needs pick up UTEP and NMSU.Quote:

MWC will have no choice but to invite NMSU and maybe even Sam Houston.
UNLV and AFA are staying MW because they're going to split 55% of the revenue.Quote:

Just seems like we're not going to see overall conference stability again. A smaller conference is attractive whereas it sets you up to play your conference every year. However in this current TV network driven environment its understandable how its motivating conferences to become aggressive with expansion.Quote:

At that point, the rest of us will be left in what will qualify as the G5.Quote:
