 Mountain West And Confence USA To Form New Conference
The Mountain West and Conference USA will announce a newly named conference in what is being termed a new association, not a merger of the remaining existing members.The conference may start as early as 2013-14.The MWC/C-USA will have a regional/divisional makeup of the current membership of the two leagues and will likely include 18 to 24 universities.The two sides held a Sunday meeting."This is an exciting development that will stabilize the current conferences and create the first truly national conference with members in five time zones and television viewership from coast to coast," UNLV president Neal Smatresk said in a statement. "This partnership brings together like-minded institutions to improve the integrity and stability of intercollegiate athletics."We are moving our plans forward rapidly and expect to complete our conversations in the near future. Look for further announcements soon as we work together on this exciting new venture." Source: ESPN |
