Not exactly sure what news if any is contained in todays Brett McMurphy article since Jon Wilner posted that there probably would not be a full MWC/C-USA merger back on March 26th.
Here is link to his blog article that was previously posted in this thread by another poster at http://blogs.mercurynews.com/collegespo ... d-sun-belt

from the csn board

1. Full merger now
2. Phased merger over time
3. Cooperation on TV, scheduling, marketing, etc.
4. Stay separate and rebuild separately

Yea, that LVJR writer is a laugh riot. However, he is right in insinuating the growing collective yawn the longer the alliance drags out. The reality is, both conferences on paper look pretty depleted football-wise and men's BB isn't looking good for CUSA either. Invite whoever and get on with it, because when you really examine who is left for these conferences, they are absolutely delusional if they think they'll be able to sniff a BCS bid. And if said bids are eliminated, they're still light years behind even the lowly Big East.

UTSA to CUSA? Looks like that last nail is getting pounded in the coffin made for WAC Football.
