Not that silly if you look at the divisions. If you have 10 or 11-team leagues, you will not play out of conference much. The east teams will play east teams. The west teams play west teams. Long trips will at most be held to one a year. They are doing it to get a championship game and to try to get an automatic BCS bowl. Goooood luck!!! If they can hang onto Boise State, may be a chance.
The Big East is scrambling right now to get back to ten. I just do not see the Big East surviving.
The Big Least is going after Boise State, so where's the value in the MWC/CUSA merger?
