Thread: Texas State to Mountain West

  1. #1

    Default Texas State to Mountain West

    I just heard Kevin Foote on the radio say a news release indicates that Texas State is prepared to accept the invitation to the Mountain West Conference!

    Short sighted. But that’s for them to decide. I think we need a Texas school.

    They’re leaving because they can’t beat the Cajuns

    Not seeing anything official other than a Twitter account with small following making the claim. Well-connected poster on Sun Belt board also says league office has not received a formal notification from Texas State.

    Think it'd be pretty dumb for them to head to MWC. PAC, maybe. Or maybe everyone is just hoping PAC and MWC kiss, make-up, and merge for the benefit of everyone.

    Hopefully the money is there, but this seems like a lateral move if not a step back. Air Force, Nevada, San Jose State, New Mexico, UNLV and Wyoming. Hawai'i is also in the league as a football member.

    From a travel standpoint, it makes sense. TXST is on an island out there and flying West instead of East for them is pretty much the same.

    But, TXST has hardly won anything in the big 5 sports in their history. Plus, you're taking a big step back in diamond sports.

    Once again, TV market must be in play, and we know how that has worked out for other schools moving around the g5.

    The nearest conference program is 900 miles away. Their travel coast will eat away at any additional media share they receive. I'm totally okay with them leaving as long as the SBC brings in another FBS Brand and not another FCS program. The Sun Belt now has an established brand, the conference is no longer building and can be more selective at this point.

    Its because the SBC paired them with ULM instead of Louisiana.

    They should review la tech's life over there before making a rash decision.

    Some TXST fans are mad if this is true. The Sun Belt is a strong conference. That version of the MWC is a gamble.

    Nothing official has come out yet. Just a fan on X saying it's happening.

    There is something about the MW that Texas State feels connected to.

    They might have felt more connected to the Sun Belt if they had been given an I-10 travel partner.
