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 [...]

As I’ve covered in the past few articles, it’s been turbulent times for the WAC and Mountain West conferences. The series of developments resembled that of a national government coup in a developing country. The WAC was on the verge of bringing in the strongest MWC school, despite excluding football, and about to deal a [...]

As the rumors continue to spin about a proposed CUSA/MWC merger to 23 schools, there’s been more clarity that instead of this drastic option, that something else could be in the works. Reports say CUSA and Mountain West officials have met to discuss the idea of having the conference football champions meet in a championship [...]

All eyes have been on the recent WAC/BYU/MWC shifts that had the WAC ready to add BYU for non-football sports which would have potentially caused Boise St. to stop it’s move from the WAC to the MWC. Utah St. went as far as to reject a MWC invite thinking the 8 WAC schools would remain [...]

Here’s an interesting tidbit brought to us by Utah St. Athletic Director, Scott Barnes. Apparently, before Fresno St. and Nevada received invitations from the Mountain West, Utah St. got the first and quickly rejected it. In their eyes, they assumed they’d be strong with 8 members and BYU joining for non-football sports. Utah St. never [...]

In case you missed it last night, Fresno St. and Nevada have agreed to join the Mountain West conference. There were reports yesterday from Andy Katz of ESPN that both schools had rejected invitations from the conference with the potential $5 million exit fee as a concern for both schools. Many in the media, as [...]

It’s been an interesting story so far and it’s gotten some legs. Looks like BYU could move to the WAC for all sports except football. BYU football would participate as an independent, ala Notre Dame, Army and Navy. The loss of BYU would be a serious blow to the Mountain West Conference. ESPN is reporting [...]

When the news first hit that Texas, along with Texas A&M;, Texas Tech, Oklahoma and Oklahoma St were considering a move to the Pac-10, the conference landscape shifts seemed plentiful. A sixteen school Pac-10 might be enough to trigger the Big Ten to follow suit, after their expansion to twelve with Nebraska. The SEC got [...]

It started with some flirtation by Nebraska and Missouri with the Big Ten. And when step-brother, Nebraska, seemed like they could actually leave the Big 12, big brother Texas started to make some noise…by publicly considering an offer by the Pac-10 to join, a scenario that would allow them to bring their immediate siblings, Texas [...]
