As I'd posted a couple weeks ago, the MWC/C-USA merger wasn't looking good and each conference was likely going to expand through other options.
MWC just snagged Utah State and San Jose State from the WAC.
C-USA just swiped UTSA, which will join them instead of the WAC.
Starting in 2013, the league will be the following 10 teams:
Air Force
CSU
Fresno State
Hawaii
Nevada
New Mexico
San Jose State
UNLV
Utah State
Wyoming
Unless the WAC can add someone, that drops them to 5 football teams. Minimum to have a conference is 6.
Not done yet, but it's about done.

What is going to happen once CSU leaves?

I wonder if Boise State/SDSU want back in
Boise and SDSU went to the BE under the assumption that the BE was going to be an AQ conference with the associated $$$. Now that is off the table with the announced end of the BCS alliance (although we still don't know what will replace it long run.) The BE will still do much better than the MWC in terms of media money simply based on having much larger media markets but it is unlikely that they will get the windfall that the schools expected.
With the additional expenses for travel and the disconnect with the conference schools being all the way across the country I doubt that Boise and SDSU stay there in the long run.
It will be interesting to see what happens to the remainding WAC schools. Do they expand with some FCS schools (Big Sky) moving up? Do they merge with or steal from the Sun Belt?
With the new finanicial world of major college football the differences between the haves and have nots has never been greater. Tough decisions for some schools to decide if they want to pretend to be big time while being whipping boys for the major conferences or step down to a lower profile where they have a real chance to compete.
According to rn CSU is a lock for the Big XII once their stadium is built
Wait - is the WAC dead or just reborn?![]()
"Right now Alec Burks is using and abusing this Texas defense"
From private sources I know (has been in the CU AD in the past, knows people in all CO departments) the WAC is almost dead, and Denver is looking to jump to the West Coast Conference instead of their planned WAC move. This makes me happy because I'd get to see my alma mater playing in Denver.
damn. just from an academics perspective, i feel horrible for air force. look at that lineup of craptastic safety schools.
air force ought to try to go independent, rather than associate itself with this list of the feeble and infirmed.
AFA to the Big12? I would think that they would be a better fit than CSU
