Utah State To Mountain West Rumors Surface Once Again

PrintUtah State to the Mountain West is yet again rearing its ugly head. This time the rumored news is coming from BobCat Report from a fan shot was done about this topic last week and this was the conversation in their forum:
Ryan - "We have some unconfirmed sources that say Utah St. may be leaving the WAC. These are very early developments and unconfirmed at this point. Stay tuned to BR.COM for the latest..."
Jack - "I talked to someone I know and respect that said the same thing. I will follow up in the morning."
Ryan "We are hearing they may be headed to the MWC."
Before you start saying these guys are throwing stuff against the wall, they were in front of the Texas-Arlington to WAC story. But still, we have heard Utah State to the MWC multiple times over the past 13 months.
That message board post was put up last week, but tonight on twitter Brent Thibodeaux who is a co-founder of BobCatReport.com is reporting that Utah State will join the Mountain West:

The only thing that makes sense is the travel partner that would benefit Boise State. The Mountain West had the opportunity to invite Utah State back in January but declined to do so. Plus an 11-team football league is a mess in scheduling and multiple beat writers who cover Utah State are questioning this. I believe this is the third or fourth time that Utah State has been said to be joining the Mountain West and I will not believe anything until I hear something from Craig Thompson.
Just for the record, the 15-day time frame is to allow this news to happen after WAC media days, and if the time frame is correct we should know by Aug. 10 if Utah State will be in the Mountain West.
So, I guess stay tuned for that.

If true...
this probably means the Texas schools (except UTEP) will not be getting an invite anytime soon unless they decide to go to 14 or 16… I still think this is a good move to compensate for the loss of BYU by bringing back the SLC market and a top 25 basketball program. The football side is interesting, this does not help the MWC’s AQ bid, so IF true this means they’ve probably given up on it…still I assume they’ll add a 12th member just for the CCG but I doubt anyone left in the WAC brings in enough money to justify adding them solely on their own merits (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE LET THEM GO AFTER UTEP).
Cool!
Post is nicely written and it contains many good things for me. I am glad to find your impressive way of writing the post. Now it become easy for me to understand and implement the concept. Thanks for sharing the post.

It could be good news, because I think La. Tech would try to join C-USA and then have UTEP join MWC as 12th team.

Thompson would have said no if this was true or not, but I don’t see this happening. USU turned down their chance last year and were denied in January.

technically...
they were postponed in January, they never took a vote, they voted on expansion in general…SJSU was most likely the biggest thing holding them down back then, if this is true and SJSU is not tagging along then it is way more likely now, still I’m not holding my breath.

This is the same guy who said adding Nevada and Fresno State was in reaction to BYU leaving the MWC.
I don’t believe anything he says.

that's too bad
Utah State needs to leave the WAC.

still it could be true and...
the WAC is just trying to save face before its media days, but with both the WAC and the MWC outright saying its false I think it probably is…
