HedleyLamarr Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 For those of you that weren't keeping up with the meetings in south Florida this week......All parties involved are in favor of a playoff, specifically a 4-team playoff. Over the next two months, the conference commissioners will present two-to-seven options of these four-team models to their respective leagues, with the goal of a consensus being agreed upon by July 4th.

Then again, if the money is greater and the chief labor is still not getting paid, that may have to be addressed outside of the now allowable extra $2,000 NCAA stipend.

TBGKon Posted April 27, 2012 Share Posted April 27, 2012 If anything happens, it'll start as a 4 team playoff. After that, I am sure they'll judge it as time passes and decide whether expansion is necessary. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seadragon76 Posted April 29, 2012 Share Posted April 29, 2012 Will the WAC dissolves or go the way of the Big West where it comes to football?I'm thinking the WAC would go the way of the Big West.With UTSA, Texas State and Louisiana Tech being potential targets for C-USA, this means that the WAC would be down to four football playing schools (Idaho, New Mexico State, San Jose State, and Utah State). Those schools would need homes for their football programs. I'm certain the Mountain West would be happy to take all four in as football only members (much like former WAC member Hawaii).Outside of football, they would have those four plus Denver, Seattle and UT-Arlington. This gives them seven members, which is awfully close to the danger zone in terms of conference membership. They would need a member pronto. The answer? Cal State Bakersfield. The Roadrunners are going to be a WAC affiliate member for baseball starting next season, so this would help them get a permanent home in the WAC.

It has the feel of watching an FCS game. Something about the Vandals seems like they don't belong at the highest division. I can't quite put my finger on it. Maybe it's the success and popularity of Boise State that makes them look minor in comparison. Quote Hotter Than July > Thriller Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfwabel Posted April 30, 2012 Author Share Posted April 30, 2012 The big thing is where is this new MWC going to get money from since their deal has four years left, is on CBS Sports, and there is a network which they were going to fold q month ago? Any new C-USA has more viable markets/households than any new MWC or western conference. Go on and be smart, Karl Benson. Nice move! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
