If this information is accurate I would guess it is between JMU, Missouri state U, NMSU all sports, and Liberty just because all 4 are ready or relatively ready, I imagine a second reason for the 2 team add is the planned removal of Idaho for no reason other then the fact they are way out the footprint, Idaho either finds a way into another conf. Somehow, goes to FCS or plays independent for a couple years again, Pretty much the biggest thing this means is UMASS is probably out, and any school unwilling to move oly sports, but most schools would probably give up a better oly for FBS because FBS = better recognition higher possible payout and a possible inc. In attendance, JMU because they are fit to move up and may be realizing MAC or CUSA are unlikely or that they aren't all that much stronger then SBC, Liberty doesn't need explanation and I hope me mentioning them doesn't derail the thread, Missouri State is considered by the west to be a diamond in the rough and NMSU because having them only football pretty much hurts us but if we have them oly as well they can counter act that with good basketball while they grow their football, I think the most likely scenario is NMSU all sports and JMU or Liberty, gives the west a full team, gives the east a full team, all teams fit the footprint pretty well and there is no wait for the expansion. But this all me just saying what I think from what I have read.
