Sounds like this might go down....I've been hearing this rumor for awhile now but never thought it would come to fruition.

Here's my guess at how this turns out.......

Pacific Division

Hawaii
Fresno State
Nevada
UNLV
San Jose State
San Diego State

Mountain Division

Boise State
Wyoming
New Mexico
Colorado State
Air Force
North Texas

Wow!!!!!!! :o Looks like the pokes could be getting some company in the cellar of the MWC. I bet USU must be killing themselves after turning down that invitation to join the MWC. :oops: After La Tech and NMSU hightail to C-USA, USU could be one of the teams left out and could end up back in the Big Sky. That would be sad because they have a very good b-ball program and f-ball program that is improving, somewhat!

San Jose? Utah State?

Nothing against those programs personally, but so much for having to EARN your way to a better conference. A slap in the face to us since we not only had to be attractive on the field, but we made huge sacrifices off it, just to be a football member only to a conference that will probably add teams that haven't done a thing to better the conference.

Note, from an "earn" standpoint, USU's cred comes from their basketball team. Also from their location in Utah, which is threatened by the departures of Utah and BYU.

USU has the advantage of being located right in the middle of the MWC. Thats it. USU and SJSU will be coming over, only because of Comcast, and their strategic locations. Keep in mind that we had to forfeit our PPV revenues, split our sports programs into two conferences, and pay subsidies to be a football member. These additions will get to come onboard and reap the benefits of subsidized travel to Hawaii, AND have all their sports in the MWC. Nice.

Crusaders, don't forget that the NCAA bball tourney is very lucrative for a conference, especially if you get past the first round.
