I checked his account, and it all looks like unbiased objective statements to me.

Eventually all of this greed will decimate the national fanbase.  The more exclusive they make the national championship process, the less fans they will have.  I am a USF fan, and I'm not going to pi

Everyone involved in managing our pathetic program over the past 10 years should be fired out of a cannon into the bay.

Interesting. Obviously trying to fill a perceived west coast void left by the Pac, and it doesn't hurt that they could fold in OSU and WSU into the conference ....

They'll definitely make a strong case for best of the rest. But I can't see them being any more successful than Aresco and the P6 campaign in actually gaining power status.

If the Mountain West was smart they would try to expand East and go after Memphis, UTSA, Tulane, USF, Army, and Navy. If they do that they would become the ultimate Group of Five conference. I would be all in for that. Either that or the AAC going after Mountain West teams.

Still think the wild card(s) there may be the 2 ex Pac teams ..... although not exactly sure how considering no P4 conference has brought them in up to this point. Maybe those 2 additions would make them more attractive for media outlets looking for Pacific Time Zone games.

To me, it's the same as how the Old Big East/AAC was booted from the BCS club when it became the CFP/P5 era. The AAC 1.0 once the dust settled was CUSA plus 3.5 legacy Big East teams. The legacy members give the conference enough juice to put it above the other have nots, but the leftovers (especially just 2) of a P5 conference don't have the cache to lift 12 legacy MWC members into power status. It'll definitely be a solid conference. The West Coast counterpart to AAC 1.0.

I have a feeling their solutions to the problems will be to wall off all the money and opportunities to the SEC and B1G.
