AAC making it's move on the MWC? Rumor
Mike Aresco supposedly officially made his pitch to Boise State, Air Force, Colorado State, San Diego State and Army. Rumor has it that they were all for football only. If that's true, it's already a non-starter.

Re: AAC making it's move on the MWC? Rumor
Lol, whatever. That would be a terrible move for all of them. Doubt SDSU wants their hoops going to the big west or whatever. CSU isn’t even good at football right now, not sure what’s appealing about them except for potential, I guess.

Time to kill the threat, the AAC is down on its knees, invite Tulsa, Wichita State, and SMU to finish them off. Then we can go after Gonzaga and St. Marys

Re: AAC making it's move on the MWC? Rumor
CSU is appealing for the Denver TV Market only.
If you are taking that much of the league I would have to ask is it really worth moving? The only one I can see considering it is AFA is army goes so they are all in a conference, but who would want AFA basketball? Nobody.

Re: AAC making it's move on the MWC? Rumor
I don't think any MWC or additional AAC teams are moving right now until both have more certainty from the B12 on whether or not it will be expanding further.

What is the buy out to leave the MWC? I can't imagine the TV deal added in with the huge increase in travel costs would make it even remotely worth it.

I live about 10 miles south of the CSU campus. The answer is yes, they bring the Denver market. Their student body population is bigger than Utah State. They also don't have people who go to CSU who then root for CU, like Utah State does.Mr. Sneelock wrote: ↑September 15th, 2021, 12:51 pmDoes CSU really bring the Denver TV market?

Re: AAC making it's move on the MWC? Rumor
I believe it's now $10 Million to leave, and I think that was agreed upon when SDSU and Boise came back from essentially the same conference. Why would they want to go back to a conference they spurned once before? They won't. And what do you even get for that $10? Increase travel and arguable about the same TV contract (their claim of a better TV contract when the had the now B12 schools was debunked as using voodoo math). This is why Boise cut off talking to them last year, the AAC was only floating a FB only invite. There's no way Boise can park their Oly Sports in any decent conference, SDSU could join the Big West Bus League + Hawaii, where does CSU and AFA go? The Summit? LOLZ not happening.Aggie84025 wrote: ↑September 15th, 2021, 12:38 pmWhat is the buy out to leave the MWC?

Re: AAC making it's move on the MWC? Rumor
Do they have a predominate religion in the area which has a school that those belonging to the faith have some sort of weird moral obligation to cheer for? Cuz that's what's screwed us, not people cheering for the U, which what CU is, we don't have many of those.bpd wrote: ↑September 15th, 2021, 12:57 pmI live about 10 miles south of the CSU campus.

Re: AAC making it's move on the MWC? Rumor
Boise already decided they wouldn’t make more in the AAC “there is currently not an increase in media revenue associated with the AAC compared to the MWC based upon current media contracts.” Now the gap is going to grow as their revenue is cut.
The AAC wants to ensure it’s members that it’s got a plan to continue as the “P6” conference despite the losses of the most valuable programs. I guess his plan is to blow more hot air until people buy it again. Unfortunately Hair doesn’t realize that Aresco’s tactics work, so the Mountain West will just continue to make non-statement statements.

Re: AAC making it's move on the MWC? Rumor
I have to assume that the conference has discussed adding member, they'll likely hold tight is my guess. AAC is going to have to raid the Skunk Pelt and the Conf. USA to stay alive.

Re: AAC making it's move on the MWC? Rumor
Agreed. It is crazy to me that CSU is viewed and usually named in these expansion talks as a potential target. For BigXII perhaps it makes geographical sense but that is about all. They offer nice symmetry with CU for the PAC12, but no more than USU does for Utah.flying_scotsman2.0 wrote: ↑September 15th, 2021, 12:21 pmLol, whatever.

A lot of people point to their new stadium as a reason but that stadium has gotten them nowhere so far. I'm not sure what their "announced" attendance is like but if you have watched any game since it has been built it is mostly empty. Having a stadium on campus did not improve their attendance at all over Hughes.
Others point to their potential with market. Ft. Collins is 65 miles from Denver....again Logan is 83 miles from Salt Lake City and yet we are viewed as a school in the sticks while CSU is a distant suburb of Denver.

Re: AAC making it's move on the MWC? Rumor
I for one like that Thompson is hanging back right now...the move by AAC to pitch to MW schools reeks of desperation to me. You rarely want to be first to pitch anyway. If "nope not interested" is what comes back, AAC then goes hat in hand to CUSA and SBelt...and THEN Thompson has options in how to frame alternatives to other schools. In other words...patience. These are not dumb guys, they just know their options are limited and want to pick the best time to make a move.

There is absolutely a chance that MWC gets outmaneuvered on realignment, which is by far my biggest concern. We'll be out maneuvered by a conference so delusional that thinks it's a P6, when it's questionable if there will even be a P5 going forward.
All I'm saying is that if Craig Thompson were a movie he'd absolutely be featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000.

Re: AAC making it's move on the MWC? Rumor
I still like that proposal to create regional "pods" of schools that are above the FCS level but have no delusions of competing with Alabama/Clemson/Ohio State, etc. and making a solid intermediate league. You keep regional rivalries and could have a very nice playoff system and a trophy to compete for. I think there is a market for such a thing and it would solve a lot of the conference anxiety that the schools in this group tend to go through every two or three years.Imakeitrain wrote: ↑September 15th, 2021, 3:49 pm"Never underestimate Craig Thompson's ability to F things up."

I've been pitching this model forever. It's also why a superconference doesn't make sense, who wants to play bowl games against your conference mates?

I will say this, the source has been pretty accurate so far, has some close ties at Boise State.

I for one am on the more skeptical side of Thompson's abilities so every time I hear any close to "realignment" it makes me nervous. He does not appear to be the "proactive" type of leader but instead seems to be the "reactive" type. I hope like hell I'm wrong and there are a lot of things going on behind the scenes that he is orchestrating to keep the MWC strong.

Re: AAC making it's move on the MWC? Rumor
Read this earlier today...it was a good summary of the the state of things right now. The part talking about the MWC is pretty brief but I think that is because there isn't a lot to say. The MWC is stable and is really under no pressure to make any moves right now, not to mention, none of them make any sense when it involves the expansion of the AAC. The only worry is if the BigXII will add 2 more at some point and target BSU as one of those additions. Even then, the remaining bulk of the MWC have no where to go and are still a good collection of regional schools that could pick off any number of targets depending on which direction they feel like they need to expand.Roy McAvoy wrote: ↑September 15th, 2021, 6:09 pmHere’s the best link out there on the subject.

Re: AAC making it's move on the MWC? Rumor
Carl Benson thought that way too, look what happened to his plans to blow up the MWC... damn near sunk the WAC. CT played CB like a fiddle. I'm guessing CT told his members that Michael Aresco would likely be calling, and would likely start with the "weaker" of the candidates to try and sniff out a possible coup. Not happening, they are weak and they are in no position to add stronger teams to their conference, hell they couldn't even add Boise when they had the opportunity to, nor could they keep Boise and SDSU when they still had the Big East name.Slim80 wrote: ↑September 15th, 2021, 6:18 pmThis forum is funny.

Re: AAC making it's move on the MWC? Rumor
Re: CSU, it’s not about whether the Rammies are good at football right now. It’s about market share, location and other intangibles it might bring to a conference.flying_scotsman2.0 wrote: ↑September 15th, 2021, 12:21 pmLol, whatever. That would be a terrible move for all of them. Doubt SDSU wants their hoops going to the big west or whatever. CSU isn’t even good at football right now, not sure what’s appealing about them except for potential, I guess.

Re: AAC making it's move on the MWC? Rumor
For the record, I've always thought Craig Thompson was a dip$hit.Slim80 wrote: ↑September 15th, 2021, 6:18 pmThis forum is funny. When news broke about Thompson being involved with the Playoff expansion talk this forum was singing his praises and talking about how good of a job he has done for the MWC. Now when realignment talks hit, we have references to Dumb and Dumber for the mighty Hair Thompson.mcaggie1 wrote: ↑September 15th, 2021, 6:06 pmI am quite sure it is “Dumb and Dumber”Imakeitrain wrote: ↑September 15th, 2021, 3:49 pm"Never underestimate Craig Thompson's ability to F things up."

There is absolutely a chance that MWC gets outmaneuvered on realignment, which is by far my biggest concern. We'll be out maneuvered by a conference so delusional that thinks it's a P6, when it's questionable if there will even be a P5 going forward.
All I'm saying is that if Craig Thompson were a movie he'd absolutely be featured on Mystery Science Theater 3000.
I for one am on the more skeptical side of Thompson's abilities so every time I hear any close to "realignment" it makes me nervous. He does not appear to be the "proactive" type of leader but instead seems to be the "reactive" type. I hope like hell I'm wrong and there are a lot of things going on behind the scenes that he is orchestrating to keep the MWC strong.
