Should We Root For Smu ?

[MeanGreen61]

Should we root for SMU to get a MWC invite ?

1. Opens up a slot in CUSA west.

2. No question the DFW market would not be represented and it is the CUSA home.

3. A regional conference set up without the snooty Ponies ? Not a bad thought

Boise to the Mountain West, is Houston or SMU Next

Next week there will be an announcement of Boise coming over to the MWC and Nevada, Fresno, Houston, and SMU being the next targets. People have come to think that Utah will be heading to the Pac 10; however, this may not be true. Rumor has it that Colorado, Texas, and A&M are on the Pac 10's short list and that Utah and BYU will stay put in the MWC as we could get an auto bid come next season. How will this effect Conference USA? Who knows, will the conference go after Temple, MAC schools, Sun Belt schools, D-1AA schools?

I see absolutely no reason that the MWC would take either. If their goal is to become an auto-bid conference, neither does anything to help their chances or reputation, and TCU sure as hell won't be a proponent of bringing in SMU.

Root for Smut? NEVER!

I believe the MWC will stand pat for now after inviting Boise, waiting for the PAC10 to make the next move to see if they snag BYU and/or Utah.

Smut has to be lower than Fresno, Nevada, Houston, and UTEP on their list, and TCU already has the DFW area covered.

Aww, hell no!

And we have to acknowledge that the BEST and most realistic scenario for us would be for the WAC to expand east. C-USA is not going to come knocking, Mountain West won't take us right now, and the Sun Belt is going to be more irrelevant after expansion.
