More MW-CUSA merger: Thompson said having two 12-team leagues would help. MW will have 10 teams in 2011.

I don't know about this. Having a scheduling alliance where we schedule eachother OOC is one thing, but a 22-24 team "federation"? Color me doubful on it. Than again, the WAC 16 was apparently ahead of it's time, so who knows.

At least the MW would have an easy road to a BCS berth since the CUSA champ is usually not nearly as good as the MW champ.
