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. Yet again though, the rumor has resurfaced. And this time, we [...]

A few reports today are claiming that there is some truth to the week long Mountain West expansion rumors with Utah State and San Jose St. set to join the Mountain West as the 11th and 12th schools. Utah State had made sense to many as an attempt by the MWC to recoup the Utah [...]

We’ve had a huge grab for regional power foiled at the last second by WAC members sabotaging from within. We’ve had recovery momentum build, new schools pledge allegiance [...]

State of the WAC – Part 2:What Else Could Possibly Go Wrong? The quick answer: EVERYTHING. As we’ve seen in every other instance of conference realignment, there is always the impending “trickle down”.

So now that it’s official, BYU is leaving the Mountain West, we can look less at what it means to the WAC (RIP) and the Mountain West (ouch), and focus on what it means for BYU. Going independent is a bold move. And we’re fine to question the logic. BYU has said that the reason [...]

They waited until the deadline, but an official announcement is expected soon that BYU will join the WCC for all sports excluding football. The football program would participate as an independent. The rationale for BYU leaving the MWC has publicly been their discontent with the current Mountain West television contracts. However, the MWC has been [...]
