pac-12 stated boise and sdsu are not canidates... don't want em. I like the pac-12 more for that
there is big talk on the mwc forum about boise, sdsu, and byu coming back along with some others to get our conference to 16 teams. boise and sdsu fans, even some byu fans are talking about possible additions with the right tv money making the mwc viable.
but this is the part that between the lines: the reason all this started is from the tulsa board... stating that the mountain west is about to expand. utep chimed in and said yes, "we think so too"
so this is what im thinking is about to shake down.
next year, we will have 10 members
airforce
colorado state
new mexico
wyoming
unlv
fresno
san jose state
utah state
nevada
hawaii
This is the fun part: if we invite tulsa and utep... and they accept, the mountain finally gets what it needs. 12 teams.
conference championship game=best chance at playoff
conference championship game=ability to renegotiate with cbs.
we don't need sdsu and boise, or byu. It would immediately provide the stability and scheduling required.
we get to shut out boise, sdsu, and byu... whom in about 2 years will be scratching at the door again.
what is kinda funny, is the cbs deal... even though it sucks monitarily... its helping us find members that want regional ties. the money is going to come. once that championship game is in place...
everybody talks about the tv revenue, but once all this settles, its not going to be about the tv dollar that helped the mountain west survive. Its the stability and footprint.
im trying not to get excited, but i actually think this is what the hair has been up too. finding a way to get a championship game.
