I know it's yet another move up thread however with the news that came out today figured I would throw my two cents in. Looks like the AAC wants to make a true western division with the following teams: Boise State, SDSU, AF, CSU.
Now I have to say I think it's stupid for any MWC team to make the move considering the American lossed a lot of bargaining power with three of its best teams leaving. But if this does happen I could see this as a unique opportunity for the Griz to move up to the FBS and join the MWC especially if we add the Dakota State schools as well:
Mountain Division:
Montana, Montana State, Wyoming, Utah State, NDSU, SDSU
(States: MT, WY, UT, ND, SD)
West Division:
SJSU, Hawaii, UNLV, UNR, UNM, FSU
(States: CA, NV, NM, HI)
A solid relatively geographical sound conference that keeps the MWC at 12 members and room for expansion into NM/Texas if need be (NMSU, UTEP, Texas State and UTSA). At that point survival is the biggest thing hence the addition of New Mexico state.
