Fresno will join the MWC
3:56 p.m.: Fresno State will announce this evening that it has accepted an invitation to join the Mountain West Conference, sources with knowledge of the situation told The Bee this afternoon.

Fresno State's decision is independent of whether BYU leaves the Mountain West Conference. A source said that BYU is considering playing football as an independent because the Mountain West would not commit to the school over the next five seasons, while also granting the school the right to leave at any time for better opportunities.

Maybe the MWC can counter with Comcast, Vs., and CBSCS.

The ESPN Article

I have to ask, would BYU not benefit from staying in a conference that is consistently improving?

I know Utah leaving sucks, but adding Boise, Fresno, and now Nevada is a definite plus. You basically raided the top 3 teams from the WAC.

Oops. Maybe I should have read the whole article first.

I've not seen what BYU wants to do but they weren't worried about having a football league yesterday, why would they want one today?
