This is ridiculous spin. ‘The Mountain West has evolved into its strongest version yet.’ Yea. Those Utah, TCU and BYU teams were terrible.

The new MWC is an awful conference. Bringing in last year’s FBS bottom dwellers (UTEP and Northern Illinois) and shedding the best programs is exactly what it is. The only upside is that Wyoming wasn’t forced to join CUSA.

I won't call it ridiculous but there is an upside for me. I dislike Boise, San Diego St, and Frenso St. I don't care if I ever see any of them again.

"It may have won it."

The only way to say that MWC won realignment is to get more CFP berths than PAC whatever and to get more NCAA tournament bids/wins than the PAC whatever and win head to head match ups in the next 5 years.

Or, get full exit and penalty fees when the settlement ("settlement" = not getting full exit and penalty fees) is announced.

Agree with this. Time will be the determining factor on which conference fares better. With crazy expansion at the forefront, either conference could implode in the next few years.
