I think you guys forgot something. Remember when GCM said he got a reply from President Gonzalez after the Causeway Classic? GCM said the President said he was driving toward membership in the Mountain West Conference.
If that's what the President is aiming for I think the discussion should include the MWC obligations/requirements too. They get more TV coverage than the WAC and more high profile teams too, therefore, more money to share with the members. I don't know what their core sports are, but I know SDSU doesn't have men's cross country, indoor or outdoor track.
The reasons we stopped playing hoops at Memorial is because it cost $1,200 to lay the court down everytime we wanted to practice or play a game there. And, since it was expensive to do that, we didn't get to practice there very often, thus, the coach complained about not having a true home court advantage, which is accurate. Subsequently, we were allowed to move back to the Hornets Nest. We'd have that same cost factors and no real home court advantage if we played at Memorial or Arco in addition to not being much better off in the recruiting wars. Memorial only holds 2,400 for hoops which may not meet the MWC standards either.
