MWC expansion

Posted By: SportUTE
Date: Tuesday, January 8, 2013 at 02:31 pm

I guess Hair is in wheeler-dealer mode. I'd assume SDSU stays. Insane to be the "Hawaii" of the Big East. My projected lineup:

West
Hawaii
Boise St.
Fresno St.
SDSU <== Unofficial at this point
Nevada
UNLV

East
Utah St
Wyoming
Air Force
New Mexico
Colorado St.
<== BYU???

So, has this been "all according to our plan" for BYU and their minions, or is it a hat-holding humble pie episode? I can see Hair wanting to make them squirm for the headaches they have caused over the past few years, but is there really any other candidate than SDSU/BYU to go to 12 for the MWC?

Humor me, I'm sentimental about the MWC for old times' sake....

NEW: SDSU is probably in regardless, BYU or another school to go to 12. Rumors of them pursuing Tulsa and not BYU is interesting but not credible IMO (nm)

NEW: So, assuming SDSU is in as well, they are set at 12, and BYU only gets in if they want to go to an unwieldy 14. (nm)

NEW: I don't understand why Boise doesn't cut the dead weight here and start its own conference:

NEW: For several years now BYU has had a plan in place for this eventuality. They are never surprised. (nm)

NEW: I would think Boise would be in the Mountain or eastern division and San Diego and San Jose would fill in the western division leaving the Zoobs homeless once more. (nm)
