    By Office of President | Published March 13, 2018
    Chancellor Garrey Carruthers
    "While at the WAC Basketball Tournament, I met with the Presidents and Athletic Directors of the WAC schools to discuss business as well as the challenges facing the Conference regarding membership. The WAC is initiating an aggressive membership campaign.  Commissioner Jeff Hurd said “something was going to happen and happen soon” regarding conference alignments and realignments.  One rumor was the Mountain West would become a 16-member conference with two-8 member divisions.  NMSU could come into play as a new member, along with UTEP."

  • As much as I would hate to see Enemas U. in the same conference as UTEP if it came to the point that it would be the only option then beggars can't be choosers. I wouldn't like it but at least we'd be back where we belong and not in CUSA. I hope being invited isn't just a rumor. Maybe Terry has heard something and that's why he decided to apply for the job...a different school the same conference as before.

  • It's a win win with NMSU & UNM in the same conf. Why, because those teams would be automatics and it allows us to get better non conference teams to play. Let the games begin.

  • BTW, I really don't see the Miners leaving the conference at this time. We just picked up an AD, football & HC., & bball HC. The Miners threw a turd out from both teams.
    Face it, we are going no where right now.
    However, rumors are fun.

    Is this based on a source or just a logical conclusion?  I know you often get the word before its public.

  • My own deductive reasoning. I'll ask, but don't hold your breath.
