RE: MW Commissioner says expansion is possible regardless of Big 12 expansion

It sure would make some good regional divisions. But the big thing will be how does the front range feel about now playing schools out west for football? (there would be only 1 cross over game) If they don't mind then, this could happen.
As for basketball, pretty much only 14 conference games will be a given and that could be good to get some OOC wins like the ACC and Big East did before.
We'll see.
The Tex-4 of CUSA play conference games in Miami & the eastern seaboard that are further from Texas than the western group of MWC schools.
I think adding 2 USA Top 10 TV markets (DFW & Houston) to the MWC makes for an interesting scenario, but as you say--we'll see.
Update: It appears North Texas will get another Heart of Dallas Bowl invite tomorrow. We took about 36,000 fans to that bowl last time we were there on January 1, 2014.
The HOD Bowl could easily become a MWC bowl because of North Texas being in the DFW area. As UNLV could attest the HOD officials do run a first class operation.
I wanted the Armed Services Bowl over in Fort Worth but that will have to be another year apparently
