As mentioned in the BYU update, both Nevada and Fresno State have been invited to join the MWC, and have both accpeted the invitations to join the MWC as early as 2011. This move would kill the WAC in football, as the league would fall under the 8 teams needed to form a conference. This move makes perfect sense, as UNR has a very solid rivalry going on with UNLV, and Fresno State could form one with San Diego State. Both teams also cut out expensive and ridculous road trips to Louisiana Tech and Hawaii. Expect more fallout from the WAC as it relates to these moves, with the WAC also having lost Boise State to the MWC earlier this summer for the 2011 season.
The update summaries are excellent. Much easier
