Hope for Tarleton to MWC. It might make CUSA do what it should've done before: Dak4 western pod.

I hope for NIU and Toledo over that.
A vacancy in MAC could get us a phone call. A vacancy in CUSA gets filled by their shortlist of EKU, UCA, ETSU, etc. Too many other options in their region already on speed dial. Hell, CUSA might call up the Campbell Camels the way this is going.
Would the MWC go after NMSU or is that too close to UTEP and UNM? If yes, more CUSA damage.
I think the play is UTEP + Texas St, with Tarleton the backup if Texas St declines.
Still surprised MW is willing to dig that deep to be in Texas. Might be that they looked at SHSU and Tarleton, and saw that Tarleton has better facilities and support. SHSU is some high school level shit in terms of facilities and fanbase. Tarleton has more financial support as well. They get Texas A&M system oil money.

Tarleton as leverage to force Texas St ... interesting notion.
Texas St wants PAC not MWC is my guess so that play by MWC makes sense. Take MWC offer or be left with nothing.
In a world of fewer HS students and declining enrollments you need exposure where you can recruit students for the school. Advantage: Texas.
