One more thing, exactly what has Colorado done lately? Nothing, but when you have the Denver TV market you don't have to. |

Well, let's see... The most recent thing they did was act proactively in securing a spot in the exclusive money club. Really, their move was beautiful. In my opinion even brilliant. The Texas legislature had plans to bump CU from the table in favor of Baylor. Well, guess what CU beat them to the punch. Now, after the fact, UT must decide what they will do. Do they stay? Bolt for Pac-X? or SEC? No matter what CU has their spot. What does SDSU and the MWC have? Nothing at this point. They better stick together and look to pick up the Big 12 scraps. One more thing, exactly what has Colorado done lately? |

The MWC will counter with a 14 team league that includes: SDSU Utah BYU UNLV Boise St. Colorado St. Air Force Kansas Kansas St. Missouri Baylor TCU Wyoming New Mexico I addition to being a BCS conference by 2012, the new MWC will be an extremely strong basketball conference with the addition of Kansas, K-State,Missouri and Baylor to UNLV, SDSU, BYU, Utah and UNM. This is why they waited to invite Boise. Now these Big 12 teams that are left out of the Pac need a landing spot, and the MWC will take advantage of their desperation. I would prefer 12. Not as many mouths to feed and just as strong. No Baylor and someone else. But if we have 14. 14 is hard to schedule for football with 7 team divisions. The schedules would be very unbalanced. Basketball lends it self to an 18 game schedule by not playing one team in the other division. So 2 seven team divisions for basketball but... For football, I would like a 9 team division where each team in that division plays every other team in that division. The other division would have 5 teams who all play home and home each year. That gives every team 8 games. The best teams would be in the 9 team division and the worst 5 in the smaller division. Teams could be moved between divisions via formula. This would create balanced schedules and better SOS allowing our good teams to move up in the ratings. |

Two things: you can't separate CSU and WYO. They won't have it. That doesn't leave a clean option, probably AFA. Second, as I mentioned in my thread on the other colleges section of this board, I'm having a hard time seeing why we don't add the MWC to the Big XII rather than the leftovers to the MWC. If the rest of the schools would be absorbed by us anyway, we might as well take the BCS membership they have. I would love to see the below conference in any variation of those teams/divisions. I think I rate the possibility as extremely unlikely. However, If we can hold the current members together I think I like the chances much better. The MWC will counter with a 14 team league that includes: SDSU Utah BYU UNLV Boise St. Colorado St. Air Force Kansas Kansas St. Missouri Baylor TCU Wyoming New Mexico I addition to being a BCS conference by 2012, the new MWC will be an extremely strong basketball conference with the addition of Kansas, K-State,Missouri and Baylor to UNLV, SDSU, BYU, Utah and UNM.

One more thing, exactly what has Colorado done lately? Nothing, but when you have the Denver TV market you don't have to. This from Wikianswers: The population of Denver is 598,707.
the Denver-Aurora-Boulder Metro area population is 3.2 million
The Greater Denver area/ Front Range urban corridor's population is 4.3 million and includes but is not limited to the cities of Cheyyene, Fort Collins, Longmont, Denver, Castle Rock, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo So included in a population that's about a million more than San Diego County are the homes of two MWC teams. But then, I really don't know Colorado much at all so I'd ask if CU controls the state's market as much as UT controls Texas. =Bob |

Any chance of CSU going to Pac-10? That would fit their current mold. Why in the world would the Pac-10 want CSU? |

Is this the Big Mountain Conference? The MWC will counter with a 14 team league that includes: SDSU Utah BYU UNLV Boise St. Colorado St. Air Force Kansas Kansas St. Missouri Baylor TCU Wyoming New Mexico I addition to being a BCS conference by 2012, the new MWC will be an extremely strong basketball conference with the addition of Kansas, K-State,Missouri and Baylor to UNLV, SDSU, BYU, Utah and UNM.

If Utah leave this format we can always add fresno state. |
