Conference Shake-up
The 2012 season should be an interesting one. TCU finally moved out of the MWC and is joining the Big East after an impressive victory in the rose bowl back in the 2010-2011 season. They are not the only team that has a new home. BYU has decided to leave the independents and take its place back in the MWC. Fresno State, Nevada, and Hawai'i also joins BYU in the move to the MWC. It should be interesting to if Boise can control the mountain top! 4 other teams have left the MWC after 4 other teams joined.The first team to leave was Air Force who is takes their skill set to the newly formed Armed Force Conference [AFC]. Wyoming, UNLV and New Mexico left the mountain west knowing they don't have a chance at winning and decides to join the WAC!
