All Hell Breaks Loose In WAC, MWC

All hell is broking loose today as the Mountain West and WAC conferences are fighting over teams in an attempt to survive. Brian Murphy/Idaho Statesman (pictured), who has been following the situation all day, just posted quotes from UI Vandal Coach Robb Akey re: possibility of WAC losing Fresno State and Nevada: "As a coach, it's something I obviously pay a lot of attention to. I'm anxious to see how everything is going to play itself out because there can be a pretty strong impact on our future depending on the ways the thing might go. At the same time, I'm not going to get to have a voice in it. You hear so many different things and we even get a little bit of inside information and that stuff doesn't always match up, either." ... "Selfishly, I just want to see the WAC come out of it in the strongest fashion. That's what I'm pulling for." Folo Murphy's updates here

Question: What do you make of this struggle to the death between Mountain West and Western Athletic conferences?
