I’m sorry, were you talking about UNLV or USF when talking about football and basketball programs? Never said they were bringing quality on the field to the table, much like some of the teams already in the conference. Don’t hate at the potential for me to get a home game every now and then now that your home game left the conference

If that’s the case bring in Umass...I want a home game too

Sorry but if you take anyone out west, it's BYU. If BYU won't come, take BSU, AFA and SDSU. I you need two more to replace Tulsa and Tulane, you take Utah State and either Fresno State or Nevada. Those are the best programs and not just football or basketball.

Yep

Well if home games for members is a criteria I want in too. I want us to add Western Carolina to our conference. They actually kicked a field goal against Alabama and held them to 66 points. I'd argue that's as good, if not better than we did against Wisconsin.

The quality (or in this case bad quality) of a city should not be the primary criteria of conference membership.

If you need 2 more then Fresno and Colorado State.

I know this is the crazy expansion thread.  But what is really the chances of any of this happening.  Zero to Nil?

For me it comes down to UNLV or Utah State. While USU has had more success recently in football and basktball, Las Vegas is turning into a sports hot bed and would give balance out the west a little better geographically.

I think they are a mini Tampa. There will not be many watching them even if they are good.

You obviously haven’t paid attention to the Golden Knights and their attendance. Even out 2 year old USL Soccer team who hasn’t finished better than 12th averages about 9,000 a game. A lot of people, myself included bought UNLV tickets because just like the Knights the Raiders are pricing normal folks out. Factor in all of the traveling fans with east access and UNLV in the new stadium will out draw USF attendance wise.

Yes, actually I have. You mean that team that made it to the finals? Come on man, you are really going to compare that to UNLV football??? Further, now that the Raiders are in town that program will be lucky to stay on the FBS level. Again, this is nothing more than adding a middling program that will have 15k in the stands.
