I haven't really seen this floated anywhere, but assuming all the changes happen that seem to have the most traction (Pac-16, Big12 dissolution) and the MWC gobbles up the "left behinds" like Kst, kansas etc. wouldn't it make more sense for the MWC to play this the opposite way?
Why not play it as a 9-team offer to the Big XII and pull in everybody from the MWC with backroom deals that move the conference HQ to Denver and instate most of the MWC conference officials into the same or similar roles at the Big XII.
This would negate all discussion about BCS since the Big XII is already a BCS conference. Sure it doesn't help against the idea that 4 mega-conferences will create their own playoff system, but it buys some money and legitimacy to the MWC/Big XII before they can get that set up and in place.

Big 12 legally won't exist anymore by the time this is done. MWC will, actually, be a much better platform for expansion.

I have always felt that those locked out of the mega conferences should jump the NCAA ship. They should have their own playoffs in football and basketball,baseball etc and negotiate a TV contract fo They should except transfer students with no penalty from the mega confernces and offer better scholarships with salarys for atheletes consider it work study,modest but better.

Sticky set of problems with too many moving and unpredictable parts. I had thought that six from the Big 12 to the Pac Ten would be the first move. That proved to be wrong.

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.

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!

The only other suggestion I would have is pick the thread this makes the most sense (which would be hard, since it makes so little) and then delete the rest. It sucks to open up 6-9 thread and the only new post is this one.
