Mwc loses 4 teams to pac 12. Ndsu to fbs?

It sure seems logical to look at NDSU, SDSU, MT & MT ST, doesn't it?

Could it finally be happening? I kept looking for signs the article was a joke. I wonder who else the PAC would add?

One would hope.

Heard from very reliable sources that previously when SDSU almost went PAC12 (seems like a lifetime ago) that we were MW’s safety blanket. I assume they have already reached out at this point.

Don’t even want to dream that the PAC would invite us. But with Boise’s previous public comments about wanting to add us to the MW…

"Air Force nearly left a few years ago to join the American Athletic Conference, where the other two service academies play football, and will have little holding it back now. That would leave the Mountain West with seven members in football, one shy of the NCAA-mandated minimum"

Yes and another thing to consider is that the PAC still needs more teams. Those four schools wouldn’t have jumped without there being a plan in place to bring the PAC fully back from the dead. Most likely scenario IMO is the PAC also picks some schools off from the AAC?

The exit and poaching fees could pay for the 4 schools FBS entrance fee. It could go a long way for the 4 schools to move up in the short term

MWC will probably take weber state, UC davis, Idaho, Tarleton st. etc and NDSU will stay at the little kids table. sigh

Good point. PAC would still need at least 2 more. We will probably hear of a few more in the coming days. I'm sure these 4 schools wouldn't have made this move without some solid confirmation on others joining the fold like you said.

I'm sure they are scrambling. Will be busy days for the MWC leadership regardless of what happens.
