And Fresno and Nevada already turned them down because they can't afford the $5M to leave the WAC

Is this official, or you're speculating?

MWC might offer to pay part of that $10mil for them with their new BCS money they might have in 2012

MWC is no longer going to get a BCS bid since BYU is leaving and ESPN is the one who reported that Fresno and Nevada turned down MWC

No shite, but no one that lives east of Fresno says CSU Fresno. It makes it seems like there are 2 different D1 Universities in Fresno, California.

If BYU does leave for real, I agree. Losing Utah was a pretty huge loss for their BCS hopes

One would think that BYU might stay if Fresno State and Nevada join.

Apparently the ESPN ticker says that Nevada and Fresno State are going to accept the invite? I can't confirm this, but that would be quick if true.
