Good Evening and Welcome to the 2010 College Football Preview Show. Tonight's headline story is the NCAA decision to have a major conference realignment. With the biggest announcement coming out of the Mountain West where 7 new team's will enter giving it a total new look. The Big 12 also makes major news as they shake up the look adding 3 new teams and realign their divisions. Notre Dame makes news as they finally join the Big Ten and more.. Let's go to our reporter Ryne Dezaron as he breaks down the moves......

RD-"Thanks guys!! It's crazy I am standing in Colorado Springs Headquarters of the Mountain West Conference. Where it has been announced that the MWC is getting 7 new teams. After news of Utah leaving for the Pac-10, TCU decision to go to the Big 12 and BYU decision to sit on the fence and look at the WAC or Indy, MWC Commish Craig Thompson made bold moves.. Here is the look at all the changes.

Obviously the biggest news is that #5 Boise State is joining the MWC after years of dominating the WAC and coming along with them are Nevada and Fresno State. However with the decision of Utah and Colorado to join the Pac-10, Arizona and Arizona State felt the squeeze and decided to come along as well to create a totally fresh look. Another big chance was TCU's decision to leave and join the Big 12. Not wanting to lose the chance to play and recruit in Texas, the MWC was quick to invite SMU and North Texas to replace the departing Wyoming and New Mexico.

Here is a word from the commish "We obviously are disappointed with TCU's decision to leave, but are very excited about SMU and North Texas. The Mustangs were at one time a National power and UNT has been a powerhouse in the Sunbelt. Both are great additions, however are biggest addition could be that of Arizona and Arizona State, they along with Boise State give us a very powerfull conference from top to bottom."

Another big change is that of the Big 12. We have already heard TCU is in, but the question is who is out? Well Missouri flirted with the idea of joining the Big Ten but instead were left out in the cold as the Big Ten instead invited Notre Dame and Nebraska to join. Gone is Iowa and Northwestern, as both teams move with Iowa joining the Big 12 and NW going to the Big East.. Here is a look at the new conference's and their teams.

North Division

Iowa
Iowa State
Kansas
Kansas State
Oklahoma
Oklahoma State

South Division
Texas
Texas Tech
Texas A&M
Baylor
TCU
Houston

RD "Obviously the biggest news here is the moving of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State to the North creating a South Division of all Texas schools as TCU and Houston join up. Iowa joins the North to team up with Iowa state in the instate rival mode."

Northwestern is in replacing USF who moves to CUSA to replace SMU

RD-Tulane moves from the West to the East joining well the rest stays the same. The biggest changes are in the West where USF and Missouri replace the departed SMU and Houston, well UCF also moves from the East to the West. to form a rivaly with the Bulls.

RD-Gone is Northwestern and Iowa. In is Notre Dame and Nebraska, as the Big Ten looks to compete with the SEC as the toughest Conference in College Football.

RD-Orginally the Pac-10 wanted to expand to 12 teams or even 16, instead they lose Arizona and ASU and replace them with Utah and Colorado.

La Tech leaves the WAC to move to the Sun Belt where conference travel will be easier on the pocket book, replacing North Texas.

RD-Besides the MWC and Big 12, the WAC is the other conference that saw major chances. Gone is Boise State, Nevada, Fresno State, and La Tech. Replacing them are BYU who looked to go Independent but decided last minute not too, as Air Force joined Army and Navy to create a Arm's Forces Division. Joining BYU is fellow MWC opponents, New Mexico,Wyoming and Colorado State. Here is a complete look at the new WAC Conference

BYU
Hawaii
Colorado State
Wyoming
New Mexico State
New Mexico
Idaho
San Jose State
Utah State

Ryne Dezaron "So there you have it guy's the major shakeup is down. It looks to be another year of exciting College Football, and only time will tell who will be playing in this year's National Championship.
