Who else is available? I wonder if the MWC made this move out of the concern the Pac-12 is going to come after UNLV or another MWC school.
I wonder if the Pac-12 expected Tulane, Memphis, and USF to join. Add those three to their MWC additions and that gets them back to a power conference in my opinion. I understand why the American teams stayed because the American might be considered a better conference than the rebuilt Pac-12 is without them and they won't burn their travel budget.
