MWC MB thread discussing article containing comments by CSU Prexy regarding possible future MWC expansion at http://www.mwcboard.com/www/forums/inde ... opic=20588

Blog article(previously posted on another thread)with comments from BCS Administrator indicating that the MWC could use the BSU record while in the WAC for BCS Autobid qualification calculations.BSU would need to be in the MWC by the 2011 season for 2008-2011 BCS Autobid purposes which would likely necessitate WAC notification before 7-1-2010.
This should continue to be an interesting story to follow.

MWC MB thread discussing above posted linked article out of Fresno regarding MWC expansion prospects at http://www.mwcboard.com/www/forums/inde ... opic=21800

Sportsline article about the MWC and TCU:

Topic is what happens to the MWC if the Pac 10 expands and takes Utah and BYU (while most in the media think BYU would NOT be a Pac 10 option).

But it does talk about what happens if the MWC loses 2 schools. 1 means Boise St. so it's an upgrade. But a 2nd loss would mean the MWC would take a step back by losing say BYU to the Big 12 and replacing them with wither Hawaii, Nevada or Fresno (i still think Nevada would top the list simply for upside/travel costs).

I'm sure the people in Montana, North Dakota, and South Dakota would love to watch their teams play in division 1-A. The Mountain West could add those three schools. That would bring the conference up to 12 teams, with 2 divisions, and a conference championship game. It might also help bring the the Mountain West up to BCS status.

The Big SKy had it's chance to invite NDSU and SDSU but passed in favor of No. Colorado.
Now, you have 4 Dakota schools that really should be in the same conference for all sports.

...but I do think Montana will one day be a MWC school. MWC programs like Wyoming like Montana enough that they hired their coach hoping he could do the same thing at their school. Glenn could not as for him, Montana was a better situation than Wyoming.
