If msu goes fbs and we need to replace them, its uta or bust for me, we asked umkc and nku to invest more money, they couldnt, uta already invests in the program. if it helps the privates get more students even better, but im wholly uninterested in invitiing programs that are uninterested in playing high level mid major basketball. We knocked it out of the park with murray, belmont, and uic... why make a mistake now? Im so wholeheartedly pro mvc success and for those reasons im wholeheartedly pro arlington. anyone other than uta would be a massive mistake, in my honest opinion.

So, you wouldn't worry about the fact that everyone would have to fly to Arlington and it would be quite terrible for UNI and Drake? How about St. Thomas? They're spending money (building a new arena NIL recruiting) trying to become a player in D1. The Tommies could also lessen the travel burden for Drake and UNI.

Being a Texas school, I instantly feel football is a much higher priority for them and wouldn't care as much for basketball. Hence, I feel IF they did join the MVC, they'd leave the moment a slightly better football option became available.
