Beginning of the end for the WAC?

Situation doesn't make much sense if Fresno replaces BYU in the MWC. I thought you had to have 8 football members to be an FBS conference? I think wires are crossed somewhere.

They are crossed in the WAC

MWC and WAC are fighting each other for life right now. MWC needs to pull in Nevada and Fresno to 1)keep Boise from bolting back to WAC and 2)kill the WAC so there is no basketball conference for BYU to join (though I'm sure there are plenty others to join). We're about to witness the death a conference here I think.

Nevada. Yup.

We can only imagine what might have been had the Mean Green been winners for the past few years.
