This has been in the works for sometime now, and it’s finally a go: welcome your first “super” (in volume of schools) “conference”. Over the past year, the Mountain West and CUSA have toyed with the idea of some sort of union. The idea first gained legs when Utah left for the Pac-10 and the [...]

Update: Took about 12 hours, but according to the WAC, Utah St. will not be moving to the MWC: “@WACSports All reports regarding a Mountain West Conference invite to Utah State are without substance.” We’ve heard this one before only to have nothing happen.

They might be thousands of miles off the mainland, but Hawaii is about to shake things up in the conference landscape. Hawaii apparently has a handshake deal with the Mountain West to join for football only. Their other sports would likely be moved to the Big West. While all eyes focused on the football moves [...]

According to the Denver Post, BYU could announce this week that they will be remaining in the Mountain West Conference. Such a move would seemingly be the result of the Fresno St. and Nevada defections from the WAC to the Mountain West, moves that unstablized the WAC. Since the WAC exit fee agreement that the [...]

Here’s an interesting tidbit brought to us by Utah St. Athletic Director, Scott Barnes.
