    Even if they do not, sounds like the MWC is going to expand and finally kill off the WAC.

    With the merger now likely not happening, the Mountain West must do something

    No mention of UTEP moving over. Looks like the WAC's last year will be 2013.

    unlike what some may think, I really don't see UTEP making a lateral move to MWC unless the exit money gets waived

    I didn't realize waiving the exit money was anything but a given.

    They will go west -

    The lure of MW basketball is too great to pass up

    Remember UTEP is a BASKETBALL school first, second and third and a chance to join the 5th rated rpi conference will not be missed, regardless of the cost (which I figure will be minimal at best)

    With all of the joint effort that has been expended, I have to think CUSA/MWC will waive the exit fee.

    From the MWCConnection:

    This is a forgotten issue if the Mountain West and Conference USA do not merge, because there is no way to have a basketball league with only seven teams. They could do it for a few years with an exemption, but they need permanent replacement.

    I don't think this is accurate, is it? I thought that six was all you needed and so 7 wouldn't require any sort of waiver. The only 8 requirement is for football. And if basketball were the issue, a straightforward solution would be to invite Denver. That would keep football/other even. He mentions Seattle and UVU, but not the strongest non-FB candidate. I think that adding a non-FB is a good idea in any event, to even things up.

    Of course, expanding football strikes me as a not-bad idea in any event, because they are at the minimum for football and 9 is a better number than 8. With the WAC still in danger, they could lose some of their better expansion candidates. But I think the premise here - that they have to expand - is flawed.

    Like it should have been in 2005.
