You are right, I had forgotten about Fresno joining the MWC. Interesting that Utah State turned down an invitation to join the MWC, I wonder what they think about being in what is left of the WAC now.

Would be a mistake and I think BYU made a mistake doing it as well too.
I just think it's funny how the MWC was pulling for a auto BCS bid from their conference the last couple years, now it's ok, no bcs, we'll go to were we can get an auto bcs, screwing the others like CSU.
I do feel bad for AFA, I could care less about the lammies. In fact I think it's hilarious.
Gotta wonder how long KU and MU will hang on....
Wasn't there a rumor going around when we bolted to the Pac that the remnant North schools agreed to a large penalty clause if they left?

I think indy ball would be better for AFA...they will have much more scheduling flexibility because if the revamped MWC does nine conference games, the Falcons will have just one OOC game to fill every year since they play Army and Navy. If AFA goes indy, I think that dramatically increases CU's chances of playing AFA.

This.
Calhoun was outspoken a few years back about going Indy for scheduling purposes, but backtracked because of having BYU, Utah, and TCU in-conference as being good for the school to compete against.
Now, having an indy schedule with BYU, Notre Dame, Army, and Navy probably outweighs what they get in the MWC. Plus, Army-Navy-AFA could probably pool their TV football TV rights and get a decent deal with some games on national TV and others on regional TV + Armed Forces Network. AFA could then join the WAC or Big West in non-football sports.
I think the Big East "split" is inevitable now. The hoops schools were forced to accept TCU because the football schools would risk losing out on guaranteed BCS AQ status due to poor rankings during the review period. Getting TCU guarantees that they will keep their auto-bid.
Boise, Fresno, Nevada, and Hawaii are still far better off than they were in the WAC, but I'm sure that .mtn TV contract will be reviewed soon, especially if AFA goes Indy.

:rofl: CSU fans you still laughing at cu's move to the pac 10? Now you have the 3 best teams in your conference leaving and replacing them with wac schools.
Some moron on ramnation said it was cu's fault for not requesting csu as a partner in the move to the pac 12 :lol: :wtf:

Good point, now we'll never see that titanic Lammie vs. Wazzu match-up.

Yeah wow. I wish we had that pull.
Best thing CSU could do is build their program and be ready when the next shoe of expansion drops. If you would have told me TCU would be a major program 10 years ago I would've laughed at you.

beware the habu
Kinda makes you wonder if all this conference jumping will die down for several years. However, I wouldn't be surprised to see the bigLeast make some more moves.
