Mountain West Hijacks 2 WAC Teams
Another tumultuous day on the college athletics landscape left the
Mountain West Conference
with two new teams, the Western Athletic
Conference in peril and BYU’s future in limbo. Fresno State and Nevada accepted invitations Wednesday to join Boise State in the Mountain West. Boise
State moves in the summer of 2011, but it’s still unclear whether
Nevada and Fresno State will take that step in 2011 or 2012. The schools
missed the July 1 deadline to leave the WAC for 2011-12, but there is
room for negotiation. … The
departures will leave the WAC with six members and could block BYU’s
reported intention to leave the Mountain West to play football as an
independent and in the WAC in all other sports/
