MWC NOT EXPANDING
Sucks to suck for SJSU and USU

Quote:The Board feels strongly the membership configuration already established going forward creates outstanding prospects for future success.

Sounds like no expansion for now.

I am not surprised... I think they want to leave the door open for BYU.

That door won't be closing then. BYU has 8 million annual reasons to say get lost.

Holy $hit. The cries of agony at USU and SJSU are going to be horrendous.

This is probably the end of SJSU football..at least at the FBS level.

Nah... all it means is that the WAC is now likely to limp onwards, SJSU included.

RE: MWC NOT EXPANDING
Looks like USU "insiders" are claiming that USU is still in, but that the MWC wanted UTEP and since UTEP refused they need more time to evaluate potential candidates for #12, including SJSU and a few others.

So who knows.. I doubt anything will settle down until the Big East makes its moves, and then the dominoes will fall in place after that.

Cmon, CUSA isn't that bad. It has underachieved as a whole over the past 5 years, but the conference has some solid athletic programs with potential (you just named four of them).

So the WAC will live on, adding Lamar and possibly others.

I'm ok with the CUSA... I was just saying CUSA teams or fanbases looking for an invite to the Big East will soon no the feeling of not getting invited.

Do not ask for whom the bell tolls... it tolls for thee. (if you are UCF, ECU, Houston, or Memphis)

RE: MWC NOT EXPANDING
If the MWC stays at 10, the biggest sighs of relief are coming out of Idaho (who might have been marooned with no options but Indy or back to the Big Sky), or Louisiana Tech (who were almost faced with the prospect of their worst nightmare coming to fruition - having no choice but to go begging to the Sun Belt).

Tx State and UTSA are also surely also happy that their soon-to-be home isn't imploding before they get there.

Yeah, the WAC is clearly not out of the woods, but there is at least a little hope there today.

RE: MWC NOT EXPANDING
I really didn't understand san jose state since mwc already had fresno and san diego. Utah state makes some sense given the mwc is out of utah and they have good hoops. For team 12, i'd pick a texas school even if they had to go down to north texas, UTSA or texas state. Texas state might have the most potential

When your options are Utah state/San Jose state..I don't think they bring enough to the table to warrant having 2 more hands in the cookie jar.

SJSU has one thing going for them. They are in a big TV market. San Jose/Oakland/San Francisco.

SJSU needs someone like Sac St. to move up. They are pretty isolated in the new WAC geography without FSU and Nevada. Alternatively, they should consider moving to the Big West for all sports, and stay in the WAC for football.

That door won't be closing then. BYU has 8 million annual reasons to say get lost.

While the MWC fans are still angry at BYU, there has been chatter that the MWC is trying to get BYU back in as a non-football member, especially given that Hawaii was a football-only member.

BYU could then keep its money, reach a football scheduling deal with the MWC (6 games per year), and move on. A win/win for everyone.

But there are still a lot of hurt feelings but all the MWC presidents (current and future) know that BYU helps tremendously in attendance and attention.

The MWC's grabbing of Fresno and Nevada was a strong-arm attempt to keep BYU. Now the MWC may go with hat in hand and be a whole lot more polite.....
