I do like the idea of having two western conferences. It makes OOC scheduling much easier. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

U.S. Department of Education Office of Federal Student Aid Fines Grand Canyon University $37.7 Million for Deceiving Thousands of Students https://www.ed.gov/about/news/press-release/us-department-of-education-office-of-federal-student-aid-fines-grand No thanks to adding a diploma mill. Yes GCU is worse than others but at all college more than 50% of degrees are completely worthless. They need to overhaul the entire education system. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh the way he tortured the stats to make Boise look the best. You don't need to torture stats to make Boise look good. Bad take. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does anybody know the exact rules that make up a conference? They get 50% of their own basketball credit shares. Same as they got in the WCC.

I'll bet on the schools putting their money where their mouth is on future success. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The MW got a truck load of money to build with. Hoops in the pac12 will be better than ever. MW Pac12 games will be fun for years to come. This is how the spoils are supposed to be used. Next up Memphis to Pac12. PAC12 hoops better than ever??? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many are saying that they will regret not making the move two years from now, and the AAC doesn't offer them anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the MWC is probably going to wait too then. Because any school that thinks they have a shot at the Pac is not going to join the MWC until the Pac door is officially closed. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the MW Schools are paying their exit fees . Why does Memphis get a golden ticket ? Offer them a CCG and to host one Basketball tourney in the next five years. They can pick the years.
