The Mountain West Conference and Conference USA have unanimously come to an agreement in principle to consolidate their member football programs into one large association.
Commissioners of the two leagues formulated this creative and innovative plan with the support of the presidents, chancellors and athletics directors. The 12 members of Conference USA and 10 football-playing members of the Mountain West will join forces for this strategic landmark in college football.
"The role of a conference is to provide its members with the best possible environment in which to conduct their intercollegiate athletics programs," said Mountain West Commissioner Craig Thompson. "Rather than await changes in membership due to realignment, it became clear the best way to serve our institutions was to pursue an original concept. The Mountain West and C-USA share a number of similarities, and the creative merger of our football assets firmly positions our respective members for the future."

So will one school effectively join the MWC side of the conference for an even split of 11 schools in each division? If so who...UTEP, Tulsa, Rice or SMU?

Also does this include Fresno St, Nevada and Hawaii who are all set to join the MWC next season??

Props to them for being pro-active and not just sitting back to be poached, but, not sure this does a whole lot of good for either one of them.

In the Denver Post now. At least we know why Air Force wanted out. If a 16-team WAC didn't work, how is a 22-team mid-major any better?

UTEP has wanted into the MWC for a while.
Now what will they call it? America West?
