Plus Oregon State and Washington State would be eligible for the playoffs quicker that way than what they have decided. Oregon State has a good team and could easily be the G5 rep in the playoffs. And if the name is important, then as part of the agreement just merge and call it the Pac-14 or something. I don't really understood taking four MWC schools and how that benefits everyone financially than what I have previously said

I'm guessing they're seeing something we're not. Stanford/Cal return? Texas schools? They seem to have taken the four "biggest" MWC schools and left the rest. Air Force, the other biggie, could likely end up in the American at the end of the day with the other service academies.

When we were in Western Montana in '97, there were no daytime speed limits. Night time was 70 mph. In recent years I think they posted a daytime limit. Prob true of other vast western states as well, atleast WY.

MWC has struggled to hold together, but traditionally have had pretty good schools/teams.

"Reasonable and prudent" went away in 1999, I think. I was on a road trip and my FIL, who was driving, got pulled over. He goes "I thought there was no limit here" and the cop chuckled and said "we got rid of that a long time ago," lol. Think it was only a $70 ticket for doing 18 over the limit though.

There are some places out west where the limit is 80. Looks kind of funny on the sign to me since I wasn't used to seeing it.

I'm thinking they should grab a couple of Texas schools next. If you're going to exist primarily or exclusively west of the Mississippi, you have to be there. UTSA and North Texas make sense. Then if you can separate UNLV from Nevada (I've seen a few people say those 2 are intertwined like Cal and UCLA were because it's the same school system) snag them. That gets you to 9

I'd sit there for a bit. There's no one left that you can't grab anytime you want in the future. The other MWC schools don't bring anything. Then when the ACC breaks up, you can then grab Cal, Stanford, and SMU. The B1G and B12 could have already had them and passed, and I don't see any reason that changes. Especially with bigger, better ACC options available.

Still basically a G5 conference, but about as good as they can do IMO.

If I was the Mountain West, you need everybody. Grab UTEP and NMSU. Grab the Dakota schools. Montana too. The only way they survive is strength in numbers.

I thought they had originally grabbed 4 schools from the MWC, then like UNLV or someone, and now Utah State. so I thought they were at 8 without Gonzaga.
