Grand Canyon has just accepted an invite to the Mountain West effective 2026

What a stab in the back.

Who do you think Conference USA will backfill with if they even try

Good stuff.

Sayonara to Conference USA's longest tenured member.

Look at that map! Four schools in the Pacfic time zone and four in the mountain time zone! Add Sac St and UC Davis and Tarleton and ACU- ok they are central time zones. Or UT Arlington as basketball only. Or Sam Houston or NMSU That’s 12 schools, 2 divisions with 6 teams! Reduce travel in basketball double round robin in the division for 10 games and one game vs the other division for 6 games! So only 3 teams in the mountain and central time zones will travel to Hawaiii, and Hawaii would travel to the other 3 teams each year!

In the event NIU or Toledo did leave for the MW in only football..if NIU says yes, would they have to go to the summit league? Their basketball team is really bad and the horizon league could say no. If Toledo says yes, are they good enough that the Missouri valley could take a look? They offer a new market for the MVC and they have the resources to compete in that league..

When Tarleton leaves for FBS-either MWC or CUSA, the WAC will have 6 members, one below the minimum required for a non football conference. The move from D2 to D1 will likely to be shorten to 3 years in January. But, the NCAA only allows a two year grace period for conferences to reach the minimum number of teams. I’m sure a conference can get a one year waiver, but I don’t think any conferences would ever want to be in that situation. So what happens to the WAC CBU UT Arlington ACU UVU SUU Utah Tech What D2 schools in the region will move up? Midwestern St? Don’t say West Texas, until that President leaves. I’m sure the schools are calling other conferences about membership! WCC doesn’t need a third team in the LA market. So, where does CBU go? The three Utah schools, along with Denver could form a western pod for a 12 team Summit? UTA and ACU to the Southland? But, I wonder if Arlington may be getting interest from football conferences. Conditional membership if they add football within five years.

My MWC 2026 prediction. They will have 10 full members with Tarleton and Sac St. So they get the central time zone in Tarleton, and a different market in Texas.

The Mountain West WILL not invite NMSU. Face it. If Tarleton State and Sacramento State and EVEN MAC schools have been in more talks with MWC people, that is the "Proof in the Pudding." I put this comment in to hope that I am wrong. It doesn't look like it. Why are they looking at Toledo, Ohio and DeKalb, Illinois as ideal fits😅

Very enjoyable.Do you plan on doing one about the OHL as well?

New Mexico State + MWC = PERFECTION

I felt it was a big mistake for UTEP to leave the WAC for Conference USA back in 2005. Two days before their announcement, I had UTEP being in the realignment mix. Smart move for the Mountain West Conference. I hope New Mexico State can follow suit. When the WAC employed? Idaho & New Mexico State were rejected by the MWC & the Sun Belt. The Pac-12 or the MWC should get New Mexico State. Somebody should get Idaho to jump back into FBS.

Great Show!

Who do you think the cusa will get next in order to replace the miners?

Everybody that lives in San Jose area South Bay's is going to start going to Fresno State

San Jose State is stupid

MW just picked up Hawaii they can add Sam Houston and NM St to get to 10

The fact that Montana State was in that top-5 attendance list for non-AFA schools is telling. It might not happen this cycle, but in terms of fan interest, the Montanas belong in the Mountain West.

Do The ECHL Expansion & Relocation History

I was at EIU when Jimmy G was there. We had some great football in that span. Anyway, I used to sit in the north balcony of McAffe and do my homework. Good times.

This man literally called the Hawaii move to the mountain west and e voila Brett McMurphy puts out the report hours later 😂

Great video. Picks Up ⛏️

Just announced, Hawaii is now a full MWC member! Will start in 2026. They should now add Tarleton and Sac St.

Another great video. I'd actually like to see you do make a video on what you think realistically the Pac-12 can get from a media rights deal, i.e. revenue per school, tv partners, etc.

You should mention El Paso has the AAA Baseball team for the San Diego Padres and average about 7k people a game.

Don't know if I missed it in your video, but it's worth noting that Ciudad Juarez right across the border has 2 million+ people. A lot of UTEPs international students I believe simply commute across the border.

UTEP has been DYING to get into the MWC for years, so glad they made it!

NMSU is in the El Paso media market. Why would any conference have two teams in the 68th media market? Doesn’t make sense, Two teams in the 2nd media market, with over 10M people makes sense. I would bet the MWC would love to add a LA school, but no other LA school plays football, and none of them are at a St Mary’s level of sustained excellence! UCI is maybe the most successful LA area school, the past 10 years.

Can we get a video on MWC best expansion targets?

Keep an eye out as a D2 school could be called up soon. Central Oklahoma finally thinking of moving up once the thing with lawmakers are set in place. WAC they could go to.

Great take as always. Thanks for all your efforts!

Hawaii joining the mountain west would absolutely nuke their travel expenses

Praying it’ll be NMSU next

Super happy for UTEP really hoping they bring in New Mexico state as well

Based on this analysis, should the Pac-12 have taken a closer look at Wyoming? I get the market doesn't make a lot of sense, but their brand, TV ratings, and fanbase is definitely better than UNLV. I also think Wyoming has really good athletic facilities.

Please Do The ECHL Expansion & Relocation History

Do The ECHL Expansion & Relocation History

Pac 12 is a shit show!! Always has been!!!

Since this video has been published, the WAC might be toast: 5 MWC schools have left for the PAC Gonzaga left for the PAC UTEP left for MWC CUSA/MWC need Tarleton, MWC may add Hawaii/NMSU PAC may want GCU, MWC may want GCU, SanFran, StMary’s WCC might need to nab ~4 big west schools(Irvine, UCSD, Davis, Long Beach?) and UVU using departing schools tournament $ and exit fees UT Arlington will want a better basketball league and could dip for a non football spot in CUSA(they already do baseball for DBU, why not UT Arlington for non football?) Big west needs Cal Baptist to get to 7 and WAC is too unstable to stay Utah tech and southern Utah could go to big sky for a more stable league ACU then just goes to south land.

Love the hockey league content!!! Would be a lot of work with the amount of expansion/relocation but would love to see a video about the NAHL and or the FPHL

The BIG12 is good but overrated when tested in the NCAAT over the past 10 years (9 seasons): Final Four Appearances, 1st Rd Wins, Nattys (per Wiki 2015-2024. 2020 N/A) ACC: 9-5-3 B12: 5-3-2 (Excludes OK; includes Houston) BIGEAST: 6-4-4 SEC: 5-0-0 (Includes OK) B1G: 7-3-0 (Includes Oregon & UCLA) ACC - Appeared in 7 of 9 Final Fours (6 different teams) BE - Appeared in 5 of 9 Final Fours (2 different teams) B12 - Appeared in 4 of 9 Final Fours (4 different teams)

Since NCAA units are 6 year, would like to see all your analysis at 6 not 10 years since college sports have such constant turn over. the recent data would be apropo.

Great video! Just some follow up questions: 1) Do you think the addictions of both Seattle and GCU played any part in Gonzaga's decision to leave? 2) Amy chance New Mexico St joins the MWC? I dont think New Mexico is gonna allow that. 3) We know Sacramento St wants that Pac-12 invite but should UC Davis make the move up? 5) Are any Big Sky schools interested in moving up? 6) Would San Diego ever consider making the move up?

I knew something was up when Grand Canyon and Seattle got WCC invites for next season. Though I'm curious on how far this drops the WCC in conference basketball strength. They can't rely on Gonzaga getting upset in the conference tournament to get a extra bid or a great conference win against the Zags either. Curious to see the NET rankings

Tarleton State or Eastern Kentucky will replace UTEP in the CUSA

Seams like adding St. Mary's might be worth it for the PAC 12.
