Just saw this pop-up on Twitter. Let the dominoes begin to fall! Latest rumors have MW grabbing Baylor, ISU, Houston, and SMU.

Better late than never.

Now who else joins....Missouri? Both Virginia schools? West Virginia?
 
Baylor is now blocking TAMU's move by threatening legal action against the SEC and SEC president Mike Silve.

I was thinking something...

Maybe Burman can predict the future? As he has stated numerous times, we have a stadium that is plenty big enough, and we will never pay a coach $1 million per year at UW.

Hey, if you are too lazy to compete, work harder than ever, and be agressive, take your ball and go away.

Can we get Baylor to join the WAC? I think they and Benson would get along just fine.

Why? Baylor will be important for the MW if it implodes.. it will keep a school in TX.

You should take a look at their website. It's like BYU all over again, except without BYU's success.

They did just beat the defending Rose Bowl champs. Also, their basketball is top notch.

TCU returned like 8 starters total from the Rose Bowl team. If at least Dalton had come back, it would be slightly different, possibly even a TCU win.
 
This might help the MWC. Think about it. Baylor knows they're heading to the MWC but as we all know, the MWC doesn't have AQ Status. So Baylor bitches at the Big XII about this and they all go O.K. how about we give the MWC our AQ Status and spot in the Fiesta Bowl. Baylor says O.K. And A & M is allowed into the SEC.

Boise's win over Georgia last Saturday may have saved the MWC's ass!!!!

My problem with Baylor is that they have been a perennial doormat longer than even SDSU was (by 3 years or so), had BCS access and money and all of the advantages that most non-AQ schools can only dream of, yet they underperformed for 15 years and are acting shocked that they'll be left behind. And somehow they think they'll be the dominant team in the MWC in all sports for a long time.

Personally, I'd rather have TCU back, or Houston(great recruiting grounds)/SMU(gets the MWC back into Dallas/Ft. Worth)/UTEP (long history with many of the MWC schools). Plus, these schools know how to work within their budget and actually produce some results.
 
The Kansas schools, ISU, and Baylor are looking at suing A&M. For what, I'm not sure, but that's what it's looking like.

You can expect lawsuits to not only hold up this situation, but all major movement in conference realignment. People think its as easy as dumping your conference and moving to the next, but that's far from the truth. More of this will come.
