I think there are some in the Big West want to merge with MWC to create multi-bid access to the 68 team field. MWC does get multi-bids than the Big West. Big West does not want Cal-San Diego because they do not want a team in a duplicate market.

Wow, you win the tinfoil hat award for the week!

It is a known fact from news sources that some ADs was talking about this a few years ago. Which is why several Big West schools were talking about restarting or adding football to be part of the MWC merger.

It was in this time period of 2013 that the talks about football returning to three of the schools in the Big West. Long Beach State, Fullerton State and Northridge State

Before bashing me for typing them that way, I have always known them as the city name and state at the end. It gives them a separate identity than the San Diego State.

As it is, MWC does not have a foothold in the Los Angeles tv market. Getting any of the Big West LA area schools in could help out.
