It happenin

How about

NDSU
SDSU
UTEP
NMSU

To the MWC

And

UM
MSU
SacSt
Idaho

To the PAC6

Makes to much sense so will never happen
 
Hawaii is now a wild card. They want to go PAC
Supposedly Hawaii already signed with everyone else to stay together, the only ones that haven't signed yet are:

USU: Looks like they're leaving
New Mexico: ??
SJSU: Supposedly going to sign to stay together this evening
 
The MWC is going to be a bottom FBS conference. Even with money, not sure that is great.

Keeping Air Force and UNLV will keep them above CUSA and probably on par with the Sun Belt. If they add both Montanas and Dakota States we would be a stronger Conference IMO then the new PAC overall.

Also both NMSU and UTEP want in the MWC, get those 2 as well and you'd have a solid Conference.
 
I think with the new transition barriers and the pressure from the P4, FCS to FBS is a bigger hill to climb than people believe. I think it could be more likely if both end up at 7, is they merge.

No would that MW be stronger than tyy he e new PAC-12. Not even close.
 
If the new PAC-12 gets going, I think Stanford and Cal would look at returning. It makes no geographic or other sense for them bit be where they are now, except to avoid the PAC-2.

Full reverse merger seems off the table, to many schools don't want to be associated with the others.

I'd see it as a Western Sunbelt Conference where regional (by Western Standards) Conference made of teams who give a damn about athletics and football as much as we do, more so then the Big Sky.

CAL and in particular Standford don't want to be associated with the State California schools (Fresno, SDSU) their snobbiness is what helped destroy the PAC by limiting and refusing certain expansion options.

CAL may have 0 choice to return eventually (they will drag their feet) but Stanford and with how much $$ their Donors have will never come back most likely.
