UPDATE 3: Can WAC commissioner Karl Benson really be that upset? He's mad that two of his teams left, but hasn't he been secretly talking to BYU for a while now? Plus, the reality of the matter is that the MWC provides better opportunities than the WAC. Period.
--------------------------------------
UPDATE 2: God, I need cfb to start...SOON. I've gotten way too much mental mileage out of this shit this afternoon. my what-ifs and scratch paper doodles have produced some apocalyptic things:
1. Utah State has to give up football
2. Enjoy the annual New Mexico State-Baylor Big-12 showdown
3. The new WAC-14 produces a National Champion in 3 years
4...how many days?
---------------------------------------
UPDATE: Is the new Mountain West also thinking about adding Houston, too?
----------------------------------------
Fresno State and Nevada have accepted their invitation to the Mountain West - apparently anteing-up the $5mil. WAC buyout - bringing the revamped MWC to 11 teams. If BYU does, as it apparently attends to do, leave the league for independence, there will still be a solid 10-team league. If the Cougars stay, then the MWC would be able to add one more team to the 11-team roster to create a co-divisional championship game...and certainly attain AQ status. But, we still have the remnants of the WAC unconsidered. If BYU stays, surely one of these cast-offs would be chosen to fill out the MWC roster...that would leave 5 conference-less teams floating in the wild western winds. Where would they go?
