Demand Mountain West Conference Schedule Football Rivalry Weeks
After speaking with many fans from our conference, i've realized I am not alone in wanting this. College football is built upon University traditions and regional rivalries. Each football season in America the final two weekends of the schedule are traditional dates to schedule your University's rival team. The Mountain West Conference however does not partake in this iconic time of the year.
Last year-2016-San Diego State was matched up against Wyoming in the 2nd to last weekend of the season, only to play them again two weeks later in the Conference Championship game. This year-2017-Fresno State is scheduled to play Boise State in the final weekend of the season and depending upon the outcome, may play each other just 7 days later in the Conference Championship game. These kind of scheduling oversights are unacceptable. No Championship game matchup should feature two teams that just played each other days beforehand.
Click, Sign and Share the Petition below so that the MW Conference will:
1. Strictly designate, by the best of their ability, the final TWO weekends of the football season as 'Rivalry weeks' by scheduling games between each schools divisional rival and/or teams from their division ONLY.
