Mountain West has put itself on hold/Texas independence?


The Mountain Wast conference Monday had a chance to acquire Boise State Broncos. Boise State was willing to accept the offer, only problem the MWC was not fully ready to expand. The commissioner of the MWC said "We are not expanding at this time", In other words they are waiting to see what happens with the PAC-10 and BIG 12. If the Big 12 were to loose the eight teams reportly being courted by the other two conferences then the MWC might have a chance to boost their conference with left over Big 12 cause i don't see how a league as good as the Big 12 will survive with Kansas as its major headline in football. Big 12 could not survive IMO but i think the Big 12 and MWC could come together and build a bigger conference as well with the four left-over teams. If the Big 12 was able to keep Nebraska and Missouri somehow then they could pick up teams like Houston, BYU, Utah, and TCU and be find but there would still be a serious drop off in talented teams.
The major player will be Texas but Texas could just say we are going to go Independent and support ourselves. They are about the only other team besides Notre Dame in the nation who could pull this feat off. Texas is about to have their own TV network, and they got most of their money from the BCS games they played the past seasons, so why not if your Texas go Independent cause after the Big 12 there is no way to but down unless you end up with an invitation from the SEC. But if your Texas would you really want to face brutal competition year in and year out after only having one major test every year in the Big 12 in Oklahoma? Independence makes sense for Texas, them and Notre Dame could make a nice rivalry as well in the Independent leagues. College Football is waiting PAC-10 and Big 10 (11) for you to make your moves...make them quick please.
