What if issue.
Texas, Oklahoma, Texas A&M, Oklahoma State to the PAC 12 to 14.
Utah and Colorado being left out.
MWC would have invited Kansas State, Kansas, Colorado, Baylor, Texas Tech and Iowa State instead of Boise State and the other WAC schools.
MWC West:
San Diego State
Utah
BYU
UNLV
New Mexico
Wyoming
Colorado State
Boise State
MWC East:
Air Force
Colorado
Kansas
Kansas State
Iowa State
Baylor
Texas Tech
TCU
WAC members left behind as an FBS conference today.
San Jose State
Fresno State
Hawaii
Utah State
UNR
Idaho
New Mexico State
UTSA
UTSA then leaves for C-USA.
WAC would be down to 17 schools.
Cal.-Davis
Cal. Poly
Sacramento State
Portland State
Montana
Missouri State
Northern Iowa
Illinois State
Indiana State
Youngstown State
Southern Illinois
Western Illinois
South Dakota
South Dakota State
All have been rumor for WAC membership. MVFC were rumored to do a football only merger with the WAC.
WAC West:
Fresno State
San Jose State
Hawaii
Utah State
Idaho
UNR
New Mexico State
WAC East:
North Dakota State
South Dakota
South Dakota State
Northern Iowa
Missouri State
Youngstown State
Illinois State
This could have been the WAC until schools get plucked again with the other MVFC comes onboard down the road.
The Summit would be decimated as the Summit football schools could get a full invite.
Great West would still be in place with:
Southern Utah
Chicago State
Cal. State-Bakersfield
Seattle
New Jersey Tech
UTRGV
Great West could invite Grand Canyon U., Denver, California Baptist and others from the west coast.
As you can see, with the Big 12 schools and with Boise State and BYU in the MWC? They could be a P5 conference.
