I think that if KU, KSU, ISU and Baylor are the ones left holding the bag, the Big 12 ceases to exist. There is no BCS inclusion and no ncaa auto qualifier. There has to be a minimum of 6 teams in competition for a 5 yr period. In essence these guys are orphans looking for a home.

I think that if KU, KSU, ISU and Baylor are the ones left holding the bag, the Big 12 ceases to exist. There is no BCS inclusion and no ncaa auto qualifier. There has to be a minimum of 6 teams in competition for a 5 yr period. In essence these guys are orphans looking for a home. the conversation on the KU and KSU boards is not what conference they are going to, but what teams they will be pillaging. TCU, BOISE, BYU, and Utah are names... In addition what if the Pac10 decided to be "less greedy" and took, Texas, Texas AM, Baylor, and Utah/TTU. for the Pac14. The remaining teams of the Big 12, KU, KSU, ISU, Colorado, Oklahoma, OSU, TTU/UTAH would have no problems taking BYU, TCU, Boise/CSU But lets say Big 10 takes ND and Missouri/or Nebraska...wouldnt be an issue to push CSU out. The MWC conference would be left with SDSU, NM, UNLV, Wyoming, Air Force, and NM. MWC would be advised to drop Wyoming, and invite Nevada and Fresno as soon as possible. This would be the absolute worst case scenario. The MWC members as they stand must remain united. Nebraska holds the key here. If Texas and Nebraska can work things out then nothing is going to change. ND too though can cause Waves...they wont get in without 1 other domino to make 12. That domino is Nebraska or Missouri, or both should ND stay independent. Mike Bohn gets screwed, he will never be in the Pac10...its Baylor or nobody. Even the "greedy" pac 10 scenario says Baylor over CU. the sad part is, if we hadnt have had such a sorry football team the past could of years, we wouldnt be on the outside looking in. instead we have to hope someone reserved a seat at the table for us.

If the MWC wants to survive, it should take Boise State now. If 6 Big 12 teams go to the PAC-10, the MWC should make an immediate offer for Kansas, K-State, Baylor, Fresno, Houston +1. They would need help from CBS to renegotiate the TV deal immediately. If they get hit for some of their teams afterward, they will still have at least 12 teams to survive with. If they get hit for teams and only have 10 in the conference, it will be the MWC that disappears.
Using the same rationale, if I were the Big 12, I'd be looking at adding 4 teams right now, instead of waiting to be raided.

A couple of questions. Now that we think Nebraska to the Big 10 and Colorado and the Big 12 south minus 1 is going to the Pac 10, what happens to the Bowl tie-ins the now defunct Big 12 had? Are they up for bid or do the bowls just follow the teams to whichever conference they're in? Any realistic chance the MWC can pick up an addtional bowl game? Also, is the BCS under any obligation at present, to maintain 6 BCS conferences?

if the 5 in the Big 12 South leave, +1 Colorado, to the Pac-10 .....what will be left of the Big 12 is one hell of an Ugly Girl.....but this Ugly Girl has a 9 million reasons for you to marry her. This is the fate of MWC teams not named SDSU. SDSU must push unity among its members and not let greed win out.

Here's another scenario..MWC Faithful think about this....the conferences are making their moves. Colorado leaves big 12, to go to pac 10... nebraska goes to big 10...Mwc adds boise st. and lets wyoming & air force go...big 12 lets iowa st and missouri go. The mountain west should merge with big 12 and have a Super Conference with two divisions west, southwest or north and south, whatever you want to call them.
West
bsu byu colo st n mex sdsu tcu unlv utah
Southwest
ut ou tx tec tx am osu baylor kan k st
If we let teams like tex, ou,tex am, tx tec, osu etc. go to the pac 10, were setting ourselves up for the same thing we currently have. If we dont do this, other conferences are going to realign and the mwc could get left out in the wind... Mwc commissioner should make a move! This could be great for SDSU! This will be a great football, basketbal & baseball conference...Yahooo! Get it out there!
