RE: Ten years ago, the MWC almost got destroyed
I never gave much thought to ESPN’s part in the WAC trying to lure BYU in. It almost makes me think that the end goal was to have another WAC-16, by getting BYU to flip (with a less than 8 game commitment) and then the rest of the MWC, nullifying the MWC tv contract and bringing all those schools under the ESPN banner.

Quad 1: Hawaii, SDSU, Fresno St, SJSU
Quad 2: Nevada, UNLV, Boise St, Idaho
Quad 3: Utah St, Wyoming, Colorado St, AFA
Quad 4: UNM, NMSU, TCU, LA Tech
Non-fb: BYU

This could have then moved to a more manageable unit after TCU received a Big East (then later a Big 12 one) and then shuffling between Big East and C-USA opened a spot for LA Tech in C-USA.
