San Diego-SDSU
ABQ-New Mexico
Vegas-UNLV
NM was referenced above, and Vegas is Vegas. Try getting anybody to reliably focus on a sports team there.
Also, I seem to recall Wyoming being in trouble for low attendance in the early 2000s. We had a season where we averaged 14k or something, I believe. Then Joe Glenn came in and got everybody excited and people started showing up again.

I think if the MW wants to be more respected, the teams like NM, Boise, SDSU, UNLV, and CSU need to be the top dogs year in and year out.
It's just the way the tv markets and populations set up.

If you ever need to laugh, just remember there was some idiot who wanted Bohl fired after 2 seasons.
