LOGAN — Utah State may be the next school to jump from the Western Athletic Conference to the Mountain West according to sources.

School officials from the Mountain West Conference are meeting in Las Vegas today and tomorrow and are expected to vote on several conference issues ranging from TV deals, to scheduling, to conference expansion. The conference has been looking at expanding from 10 schools to 12 in order to secure a lucrative conference championship game. Adding a conference championship game could add millions of dollars of revenue to the conference in the form of a TV deal and ticket sales. If the money gained from the championship game offsets the money lost by splitting the revenue sharing between an additional two schools then the conference is likely to expand.

The final vote for expansion is expected to take place later tonight and they are expected to vote yes on expansion and yes to adding Utah State. In turn Utah State is expected to approve the move. No exact timetable was given, but it is expected to be official in the next 24 to 48 hours.

Who is that very large woman in the corner? And why is she running through her vocal scales?
