Hello Celebritys

I hate this latest news coming out about the move of Fresno State and Nevada from the WAC to the Mountain West Conference. I was hoping both of those teams would be in the MWC for the 2011 season, but that will not be the case.

Fresno State and Nevada will remain in the Western Athletic Conference in all sports until July 2012 before leaving for the Mountain West and, in exchange, will pay a significantly lower exit fee after reaching an agreement with the WAC this week.

The remaining six WAC schools held a conference call Wednesday night to approve the agreement. In making the announcement Thursday, the WAC said Fresno State and Nevada each will pay a $900,000 departure fee, much lower than the anticipated $5 million it had hoped to collect from the two for breaking an agreement that they would stay in the conference for five years.

This means that the Mountain West conference will have eight members of the conference in 2011 after Boise State is added. The Mountain West will then be back up to 10 teams in 2012.

I am assuming that TCU is now on the lookout for another out of conference opponent for next season. Currently the Frogs are scheduled for games at Baylor and against Texas Tech and SMU. I would really like to see them add another quality opponent to the schedule.
