Message: [QUOTE="zibby, post: 42722, member: 543"] If all the teams rumored to be going to the Big East do go, that will leave the Mountain West with eight and Conference USA with nine. All they would have to do is add one team to the Mountain West and then each league could play an eight game conference schedule and have the best team from each league play each other in a championship game. This actually works out well for the Mountain West. They can get the benefits of a conference championship game without having to invite too many more weak teams. There simply aren't four teams worth adding to the MWC to get to 12. It will also prevent the conferences from trying to hurt each other. When TCU was still in the MWC, there was some talk of the MWC trying to take some C-USA schools to get to 12. So to answer your question, no, I think just the opposite. This gives the MWC and C-USA the benefits of a championship game without having to go to 12 teams each. [/QUOTE]
