Better coverage, better athletic-teams, better academic-schools: The Mountain West Conference.


Hardly.

coverage
you have your obscure little tv network which most cable companies do not even offer at all, or they bury your channel deep in the 200's where nobody can even find them. Football games are played on thursday night or on sundays because no one will watch them any other time.

athletic teams -
MWC - every team in the league finished 6-5 or worse, except for one. You know, the same "champion" that lost to SMU

CUSA - 3 teams with 8 wins

BBall
MWC - when unlv is your 4th best team, you know you suck. Only two postseason qualifiers, and no ranked teams at all. No postseason wins at all. ZERO.

CUSA - multiple postseason teams and two nationally ranked teams, including #4 nationally ranked memphis

baseball -

MWC - one bid conference, and that was strictly the autobid. You suck.

CUSA - elite perenially ranked programs like Rice and Tulane

academics - some good and bad in both leagues. unlv, colorado state and wyoming are hardly bastions of higher learning. Certainly not on par with Rice, Tulane, SMU, and Tulsa.

The Mountain West conference is a joke. It is in a black hole of a time zone that gets no media coverage. TCU was stupid for packing up all of its sports teams just to get what they THOUGHT was going to be a little better football competition.

Too bad TCU is still envious of Baylor and our conference. I'd much rather be playing in C-USA than the MWC(well I'd rather Baylor be in the C-USA than Big XII for football only, but that is another story). They (TCU) think they're all big and bad, but what besides football(which you would finish in the bottom half of the Big XII every year) what sport are you good at? Baseball(No)?WBball(not terrible)MBball(the shame of the state!)?

TCU is envious of the BCS money you get for not having a winning season in 10 years!! 10 years!! Man, I wish we could suck as bad as you guys do in football.

Nice womens hoops though..

Just a note about game times, the latest game we played last year was SMU... so much for that theory about the MWC start times.
