The last few years the top teams have been ranked in the 30's. The gap between our top teams and an at large is not huge. It's small. We don't need a leap, we need a nudge. Completely shielding the top teams from the bottom teams could be that nudge. So AGAIN it is not just about getting to 16. It is about MULTIBIDS. It is about exactly what you say it is about.

If we get ONE extra bid each year with 16 then we make more money than we do with one bid and 14 teams. Period.

As much as my fellow Miner fans won't like this suggestion, one team to add as the 15th, all sports, would be NMSU. They regularly win the WAC in mbb, have good baseball and are close to UTEP to ease travel. That would make it more reasonable for any team flying into El Paso (other than FB) to get two games for one trip. Not sure who else to add to make 16 worthwhile.

No one to get to 15 and no one to get to 16.

Charlotte should be happy that we moved your high chair over to the table with adults. Now sit their quietly before you annoy us and force us to send you back to the other room with all the other kids.

Take a look at the Charlotte and Appy thread. You’ll see their true colors their.

Many look at CUSA as their stepping stone.

Which is exactly why I can't stand them. They are a trash program in football and their basketball hasn't been good in over a decade.

The only teams who would be worth bringing in will not come so this discussion is mute.

Moot. Not mute.

I know, I know, I have no right to be the board's grammar police, etc... It's just one of those little irritating things. 07-coffee3

Technically, mute could work in the context he said it. Sure he meant moot, like a moot point. But, technically he could be putting the discussion on mute. lol

Then he should have said, “This discussion is muted.”
