NMSU also would have led CUSA last year in attendance if they were in the league. Las Cruces supports that program big time. I went to NMSU basketball camp when I was 10, was camp MVP for my age group, too.
Speaking of NMSU their coach got hired away last after ncaa victory. They lost most of the team. However, their new coach Greg Heiar is a killer replacement. Saw him in interview, has the It factor. Has brought in some excellent replacements. Aggies will have minimal if any drop offNMSU also would have led CUSA last year in attendance if they were in the league.

I do feel like all of them have a sense of urgency now that had been lacking. what’s the cause? Idk, but they are related.I know this is OT, but this thread has already taken a few detours. So speaking of conference desirability, anyone else ever think McPhee may have stepped in when MT was passed over on most recent wave of realignment?
As soon as MT was passed over, McPhee went front and center almost immediately to announce the new facilities. This was the week after the embarrassing failure rather than a few months earlier on something they had already been planning for a year or two. It also appeared McPhee was front and center on rejecting the MAC move. It almost appeared that maybe he had quiet conversations that suggested with the new facilities announcement and investment, MT just might be front and center for an invitation in the next wave that will likely occur within the next couple of years.
I have no inside information to base this on. It is a possible scenario that has crossed my mind. Since I have been highly critical in the monumental failure of MT in recent realignment, I thought I might throw out another slightly less critical speculation at least in regards to McPhee. Anyone else speculate that maybe he stepped in once he realized the ball had been dropped?
Anything done by that person that is of benefit to. MT is by pure happenstance - not by design, ingenuity, vision, or strategy.

NCAA payouts are more likelyUntil I see the selection committee pick more then one team from our conference, I am not sold that we are better.
How does it help if we are in a better basketball conference but the usual suspects are going dancing in March?
I'll go with 20,001I'll go 20K actual butts in seats
Interesting the way you put it. Reminds me of an impression that I've been picking up for more than a few years. That is that he loves him some photo opportunities, especially come grammy time.Anything done by that person that is of benefit to.

It would have made Vince McMahon proud.I gave credit to Lee (and CM even though I know it was mainly Lee) for the marketing job they did this week. I mean they went all out.
This is how every school does it. Announced attendance, which is what matters to the NCAA, is based on paid attendance which is tickets distributed, not tickets scanned.Looked like 10 or 11k. Knew they would announce 15-17k. Some things never change.
Did they have cash...Tons of people waiting in concession lines last night because understaffed.
Did they have cash...
I went to buy water at the TSU game and the wouldn't take cash...
I walked off... VERY FRUSTRATED !!!
Yes, I hardly ever carry cash now.I'm the opposite. I moan and groan over places that do take cash. Normally those that only do won't get my business. I despise cash with a passion. Especially at an event with a large crowd I prefer to not even have my wallet.
