MWC, C-USA merge

The Mountain West and Conference USA agree to form 22-member league. Spans N.C. to Hawaii

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP)—The Mountain West Conference and Conference USA say they are combining their football programs to form a 22-team league

The new conference will spread across five time zones from North Carolina to Hawaii.

Mountain West commissioner Craig Thompson says the leagues made the move to join instead of waiting for teams to be poached or otherwise affected by conference realignment.

The conferences did not say when the merger would take place, nor what the new association would be called.

At this rate we'll have about 3 conferences in 5 years.

That's a friggin joke. ECU vs. Hawaii as a conference game is really fair.

Some conference will still poach some of the best schools. It just staves off elimination another year.

I see this as a good thing. I want to see ECU play here in San Diego.

I think the XFL had better ideas than this
