I disagree about those three you just listed. I would not say Albuqueree, Reno and Salt Lake City area as small markets. I live in a small town about 2500 people, and we call ourselves smalls. Those cities are large compare to us. Not mega cities like Las Angelas or New York City, but not small. Those three do have a pretty good size markets not to ignore.

A new MWC without Wyoming in the works? Wyoming brings nothing to the TV deal which is hurting MWC tv deal. I think Wyoming will wind up like Idaho that nobody wants them in an FBS conference.

Best decision Boise State could have made. They really wouldn’t have gained much of anything going to the Big Conference USA. I expect San Diego State to remain in the Mountain West as well.

The Big Conference USA continues to implode as it has done nothing but replace teams lost with warm bodies from Conference USA. That conference isn’t a big TV earner and with all the defections by quality football and basketball programs (and possibly more with Cincinnati and UConn wanting out), the Big East will fall into the same boat.

Would Tulsa be on that list as will for consideration to with their tv market?
