The way the argument is framed, Mr. Thompson seems to be using this as more justification for the "alliance" instead of bolstering the MW and its current regional footprint. From 22 teams down to 16/15, the alliance will face an uphill battle for recognition, TV contracts and open doors in general. Whatever happens, the Commish needs to have things in place by June 30th.</p></div> http://www.mwcconnection.com/2012/2/11/2792441/mw-commissioner-pushing-expansion jitmon 2012-02-11T21:12:29Z 2012-02-11T21:12:29Z <img alt="Fullscreen-capture-2112012-122554-pm" src="http://cdn0.sbnation.com/fan_shot_images/240118/Fullscreen-capture-2112012-122554-PM.jpg" /> <div class="source source-img"><p>UNLV fans prank San Diego State by placing a <a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaab-the-dagger/grammar-fail-turns-clever-rivalry-prank-203056710.html;_ylt=AsFBTxpkffGTPD3K6EreZWw7Ysp_;_ylu=X3oDMTE4NWRia245BG1pdANCbG9ncyBJbmRleARwb3MDMQRzZWMDTWVkaWFCbG9nSW5kZXg-;_ylg=X3oDMTFvcGs0cnBnBGludGwDdXMEbGFuZwNlbi11cwRwc3RhaWQDBHBzdGNhdANibG9nBHB0A3NlY3Rpb25zBHRlc3QD;_ylv=3" target="new">grammatically incorrect sign</a>.</p></div> http://www.mwcconnection.com/2012/2/11/2792216/unlv-fans-prank-san-diego-state-by-placing-a-grammatically-incorrect Jeremy Mauss 2012-02-11T19:49:23Z 2012-02-11T19:49:23Z <h3 class="link-title"><a href="http://www.rgj.com/section/blogs16?plckController=Blog&amp;plckBlogPage=BlogViewPost&amp;U=cf54a7c3-6850-4148-9710-effa04ad5005&amp;plckPostId=Blog%3acf54a7c3-6850-4148-9710-effa04ad5005Post%3acf520d27-1e10-48ab-aed4-f5337d39fb65&amp;plckScript=blogScript&amp;plckElementId=blogDest">Nevada Hires Former Colorado State Associate Head Coach Larry Lewis to Round Out Coaching&nbsp;Staff</a></h3> <div class="description"><p>As a follow up on my post the other day, Nevada has hired Larry Lewis to fill its last vacant position on their new-look coaching staff.
