Boise State to the Mountain West

[Dwayne From Minden]

Even at 4-5 teams, the remaining Big 12 teams still have the power.

I don't think they do - unless they a granted a waiver and I don't think anyone is going to sit around waiting for a waiver before they pull the trigger

What do you think will happen after TCU and Houston accept a bid to the Big 12? Those schools in the MWC will be fighting for those other 6 spots. The Big East did not lose their AQ status when they lost Miami, Virginia Tech, and BC. They brought in 3 CUSA schools and didn't miss a beat. This would probably be the very best senario for La Tech. We could become the 7th member followed by New Mexico, AFA, Co. State. After they get 10 members, Utah and BYU would be begging to join, and so would Boise.

But what is Tech's "mountain" connection?

Mount Driscoll?

We are not even considering the MWC -

Our focus is 100% on CUSA - we will NOT be is a western based conference

Well, ya know it is the only mountain in Lousiana and it is in Lincoln Parish.

Believe Mt. Driscoll is in Bienville Parish.

I wasn't talking about the MWC, I was talking about the Big 12 that will form after the 8 schools leave the existing Big 12. Those 4 Big12 schools will pick who they want out of the MWC, WAC, and CUSA.

They would have to be granted a waiver because all NCAA distributable money would follow the schools who earned the credits -

The only thing that would remain would be the TV money and it would then be a non-factor without the NCAA basketball money - since the BigXii's tv money is the worst out there among the AQ conferences

6 TEAMS HAVE TO STAY TOGETHER under the current rules

The Big East was down to 5. They lost BC, Miami, and Va. Tech and took Louisville, Cinn., and USF.
