MWC decides not to expand

If the BIG 12 schools come over the MWC, won't they have to endure that terrible TV contract?

Personally, I think it would be best to just jump ship and give the MWC the finger. Create a new conference.

Take 6 BIG 12 schools, take on Boise St and Fres. St. +BYU, Utah, and TCU.

That's 11 teams right there. Maybe throw in somebody else from the MWC, like SD, AF, UNLV, New Mexico. The "new" 12 team MWC could be just as competitive as the Big East, ACC, or Big 10. Entertaining in Football. Dominate in Basketball if K-state, Kansas, BYU, Utah, and New Mexico come.
 
I say they just pick four teams - USC, Texas, Notre Dame, and Penn State - and just have them play each other 4 times during the regular season and then have a bowl system where the top two teams of the four play each other for the championship and the other two play in a "major" non-championship bowl. They'll all get $200 million dollar payouts and they'll hire every other teams' players to run the concessions stands/maintenance crew/security personal as a service to their lords for ever being allowed on the same field as them.

Seriously though, this whole thing makes me want to puke. Please return a speck of amateurism to amateur sports and not in the form of bad leadership.

You're only left with Iowa State, Kansas, Kansas State, and Baylor because Nebraska and Missouri supposedly have outside offers. I think you take any of the 4 big 12 stragglers if they are willing. Give me some Kansas basketball in the Mountain West and I'm happy.

Iowa State is quite the outlier. At least Baylor would have TCU as a travel partner. Maybe try to pick up Fresno to move to 14? I think the MWC would prefer 12, though. The core MWC schools broke away from a 16 team league. I don't think they want to go back near that number. That's why I would think Boise and the two Kansas schools are the universities in their sights.
 
Just wait a couple weeks guys. It will all go down one way or another by July 1. MWC is being patient and seeing where things end up with Big-10/Big-12/Pac-10/SEC/etc. They can wait it out and still have time to get Boise State on board.

Wow, what a difference 4 days makes.

I think it's a very good move. Shows the conference is being proactive.

Not so fast, my friend...I said the following in the Colorado to the PAC thread:

Utes may still be in the picture with the PAC.

IOW, the MWC could be being very much reactive with this move, if you know what I mean.

So you think Utah is going to get in with the Texas movement instead of Baylor(or whomever), or only if Texas to the Pac 10 falls apart?

Right now, I can say I'd be surprised if Utah doesn't move to the PAC. But yes, that is contingent on Texas to the PAC not working out - which I believe will be the case.

I hope I'm wrong. Although it would be funny if both BYU and utah move (BYU to the Big 12) and leave Boise in essentially the same situation they were in with the WAC - beating up on SDSU and Wyoming instead of USU and SJSU.
