It is now official, according to ESPN.com and other news outlets, Boise State is set to join the Mountain West Conference and become their tenth member.
Boise State is leaving the Western Athletic Conference, a league the Broncos have dominated for a decade in football, the MWC confirmed with a statement Friday.
"We are pleased and excited to welcome Boise State University to the Mountain West Conference," commissioner Craig Thompson said in the news release. "Since our inception just 11 short years ago, the Mountain West has experienced tremendous success, and the addition of Boise State will further enhance that strength. The MWC continues to strategize regarding potential membership scenarios and bringing Boise State into the Conference is an important part of that evolution."
I think this is a solid move for the Mountain West Conference. It means they are being proactive and adding another solid football program to the group they already have. I think most are expecting the MWC to add two other teams, who that will be is yet to be seen. Obviously there would be interest in the Kansas schools or also Missouri if they are left out of the Big Ten.
