I was thinking these things would make the invite more tempting to accept.
1)Somehow pull in Wichita St (and possibly ORU, Belmont, and/or JMU) to improve the hoops. WSU is becoming an outlier in the MVC and lost their biggest rival in Creighton and will lose their remaining biggest rival if we leave too.
2)Bring in New Mex St as a basketball school, they have good basketball program.
3) kick Idaho out or promise us in writing that we never have to fly out there
4) keep ark. St from leaving
5) we can't leave arch madness with 17-20k at the championship each year to go play in a tiny town in arkansas. That needs to be addressed
6) TV for basketball, what kind of TV coverage do you guys get? The MVC gets 30-40 games on each fox sports-midwest and the ESPN networks for basketball.

Our basketball sucks, but we do have these things going for us.

1. There is only one FBS invite remaining at this moment
2. CUSA and the MAC don't hold that invite.
3. We have excellent baseball.


Though lets be clear, Missouri State basketball isn't exactly lighting up the MVC right now either.

yes- Idaho would probably beat them..

You're joking right?

WE ARE. MO STATE

Wait a minute, is this the same team that NMSU beat by 20 this past season and won something like 8 games in the MVC? Now, I will be the first to note that one season does not a program make, and I will also be the first to say that I haven't followed the Bears very closely at all, but an RPI close to 200 isn't going to help anyone.

GO AGGIES!!!

I'm so glad someone understood the reference. AVGN is brilliant.

It was a terrible season for us and we didn't get a D1 win until we reached conference play but we finished the season playing much better than we started(we lost to a final four team by only 10 in our last game of season and won 3 of the last 5 games. We were starting 4 freshman and I think we will be a top 100 team next season, and probably a top 50-75 team within 2 years. Its insane that since 2000 we have had 4 top 50 seasons and not received a single at-large bid.

Literally the worst season (well, tied) of basketball in our d1 era. So, you're right, one season does not a program make. We also had the 6th youngest team in D1.

Maybe your conference is not doing for you what you think it is.

We really try to keep it that way. I feel that it makes for a better environment for discussion. Besides, the majority of the posters make it fairly easy to moderate by not pushing the limits of what we do and don't tolerate.
