Huh!??? Uh, how about BYU fits in perfectly geographically with a Big 12 north Division. This whole saga is best illustrated by this clip from The Princess Bride.

Watch it and replace the characters as follows:
Miracle Max = Criag Thompson
Westley = The Mountain West Conference
Indigo Montoya = BYU
"True Love" = Automatic BCS Bid.
Miracle Max's wife = Reality
Humperdink = BCS Conferences
Andre The Giant = Big TV Contracts
"Wait 15 minutes" comment at the end of the clip = Craig Thompson selling the MWC to BYU.
Maybe our only hope is that the MWC ends as good as the movie?
"I expect it's the last moves based on comments of (the other commissioners)," he said. "I don't know where institutions in our league would go other than those three conferences. Geographically, I'm not sure where they would go."

There were chances to add more. Thompson said amid the conference-swapping chaos of the past few weeks, he received eight or 10 inquiries from schools hoping to join the Mountain West.
Who were these other schools that asked to become a part of the MWC???

If Kansas State really wanted in, they'd get in. Sorry, don't see it. The rest of the list I agree with. But you should probably put Utah State on their twice.

I am sure that KSU and ISU were inquiring about the MWC IF the Big 12 got destroyed. Might as well throw in Kansas for that matter.
Oh and FYI, news travels pretty slow to Logan, the horses get tired. Utah State will be inquiring next week. :D
