hawaii to mtn west

I feel like the next defection is going to be a knockout blow. It could come in the form of Utah State to the MWC or Louisiana Tech to C-USA/Sun Belt. LaTech would probably prefer the Sun Belt over the current WAC alignent, but they won't pursue it until they know how things shake-up in Conference USA. They're hoping the Mountain West invites UTEP, Houston or SMU to open up a C-USA spot.
 
MWC has ten football teams now. The only way they consider 12 is so that they can have a championship game if the big bucks are there. They are not in a hurray to go to 12 right away but will study the pros and cons of revenue gain by having a championship game. Odds on favorites if they do expand would be UTEP and Ut. St.

Click to expand...

Seems to me nobody in the Mt West would be courting Texas El Paso. Either SMU (Dallas) or Univ of Houston would be a far superior addition for the conference. Get's them an established name in Texas, with a large TV market as a solid replacement for TCU. :ugeek:
