See if you can follow: The Pac-10 is waiting on word from the Big 12 South schools, which are waiting for Nebraska and Missouri, who are waiting for the Big Ten, which is waiting on Notre Dame, which is hoping to keep its independent status and avoid seismic changes in the college athletic landscape.
The Mountain West might end up waiting on all of them.
And then there's the politics: Texas lawmakers are pushing for Baylor, a private school, to head to the Pac-16 rather than Colorado. Iowa State supporters want rival Iowa of the Big Ten to vote no on conference expansion to keep the Big 12 intact and stop expansion-geddon.
Conference expansion does indeed make strange bedfellows.
The Idaho Statesman. Apparently the MWC is realizing that, instead of inviting Boise State now, they can wait a little bit and maybe snatch up a good portion of the Big 12 North. The fun is just beginning.
