That would leave MWC with 11 FB members and 10 Fulltime Members.
Does Boise have one foot out the door? Where do they go? Pac12/Big12.
What moves, if any, does MWC make?

Re: the report about the Pac-12 announcing the addition of SDSU as soon as this week, a source close to the situation tells @TheAthletic that the report is inaccurate.
It's been my understanding that the Pac-12 will do its media deal first before any conference expansion.
Hopefully we either lose UTEP/NMSU together or don't lose either of them if the MWC decides to expand.
Would they be able to pull TXST from the SB or any Texas teams from the AAC?
For those in the know, any more conference realignment rumblings out there?
Not in the know, but... Pac-12 Hotline mailbag: Timing for media rights and expansion, SDSU vs. SMU, night kickoffs, CFP matters and more – Orange County Register (ocregister.com)
First, and for those unaware, Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff was asked recently which piece comes first (the media rights deal or a decision on expansion) during a college athletics forum last week in Las Vegas.
“You can do it either way,” he said. “We’ve decided to sequence it as follows: media deal first, grant of rights next, expansion third.”
So the Pac-12 is the next shoe to drop. I guess time will tell how the dominoes affect us. Thanks.
CFB is committing hari-kari. It's a slow, methodical suicide that is killing the sport.
Yesterday some friends, and former business associates, were in town to see the City of Lights. They came by for a visit. They are HUGE LSU fans, in fact, they both were decked out in puke purple/vomit yellow gear, head to toe. They live in Houma. Told me they are not renewing their LSU season tix for the first time in 25 years. They no longer want to make the effort to drive to BR on gamedays and will just stay home and watch the games on TV. It's not just the ease of watching games at home, but also this whole transport portal mess, paying players, etc... Told me they have friends, also longtime LSU fans, who have had enough. No longer want to finance these overpaid coaches and now players. "Not with my money..." they said.
I suspect these folks are representative of a growing trend across the nation.

Pac-12 expansion with San Diego State, SMU may be necessary before league inks new media rights deal https://t.co/gBFZOGZ9My
