Seems about right...OrediggerPoke wrote: ↑Tue Jul 05, 2022 9:43 amI already posted my projected 2027 MWC - I personally believe it is highly likely that Wyoming is left behind in a watered down MWC. We aren't going anywhere but some of our conference mates probably are. I believe Utah Tech, North Dakota State and South Dakota State are the most likely FCS to move to the MWC given their ambitions. I believe New Mexico State is the most likely FBS team to move to the MWC because I don't see New Mexico going anywhere either.
BTW - it is no secret that San Diego State, Boise State, Hawaii, UNLV, Colorado State, Fresno State, etc...are working the phones to try and move on.

If you look at the BCS and CFP era as an audition for schools to show that they belonged....some are making the cut (Utah, TCU, BYU) and some are sort of on the fringes (CSU, SDSU, Fresno). It's not all about being competitive either...if it were only about football competitiveness, Boise St would be in a P5 conference right now. They were dominant over that stretch. It's about market size, cultural fit, and academic reputation as well. Wyoming is not high in any of those categories. There was never any chance the market size was going to change...I don't think the west coast schools view Wyoming as a "cultural fit" ... maybe we would fit better in with the mountain and midwest schools. What about academic reputation? My sense is that UW is viewed as a good value for students but it's not a prized research institution. That leaves the ability to be competitive on the gridiron as the only real metric Wyoming ever had that it could possibly use to increase it's attractiveness to a larger conference. How did that go?...not well.
