          Would the WAC invite some Big Sky teams or just scuddle along with 7 members?

            my guess is they would join with the sunbelt.

              I thought this part of the article was bizarre

              With San Diego State, Fresno State, Nevada, UNLV, Boise State, and Wyoming making up the western component.


              And Utah, BYU, Colorado State, TCU, Air Force, and New Mexico shoring up the East.


              This way, teams would have logical travel partners and natural rivalries (with a few exceptions).


              The East would seem football heavy while the West would be stronger on the basketball court.
              Can someone please explain this to me?

                      Well, UNLV, SDSU, and Nevada are usually pretty good in basketball. But yeah he's wrong. He had just gotten done gushing about Nevada, which probably explains his thinking.

                          I wonder if it would a brand new conference and in effect killing the MTN Network. If not killing it, improving and expanding it to something that would be better than junior high production. BCS and a better TV production would be very nice.

                            Any idea whether giving the MWC a 7th auto-bid will remain in the pool of 10 slots or will they add a sixth bowl? There's certainly enough money for a sixth $17m payout, and plenty of Super Bowl-worthy venues like Cowboys Stadium, the Q, or the Metrodome.

                              The Cotton Bowl has been trying to become the 6th BCS bowl. I can see that...

                                So Fresno St. seems to make a living on prop 48 kids. What would happen to the new conference? Would they allow prop 48? Would they not?

                                My guess is they wouldn't since it's still the MWC, and you have to wonder what would become of FSU's programs.
