According to the Reno Gazette Journal, the Western Athletic Conference has filed suit against the Mountain West Conference, Fresno State and the University of Nevada. The lawsuit seeks to retain both schools through the 2011 season and to protect scheduling with remaining WAC members during that time.
Here, it’s Air Force 21, BYU 14 at halftime. Elsewhere, Notre Dame trails Michigan 21-7 at the half, while Ohio State is beating Miami and Oklahoma is crushing FSU.

We’ll start with Week 2, so for those of you would totally would have picked Jacksonville State over Ole Miss and North Dakota State over Kansas… sorry! Anyway, to… Read more »
If Boise State stays undefeated, I’ll undoubtedly be doing a lot of blog posts as the season progresses about the teams with a chance of eventually leapfrogging the Broncos (i.e., pretty much any unbeaten from a big-five conference), the potential one-loss teams who pose the biggest threat (the most obvious scenario is Florida losing at Alabama, then winning out, beating… Read more »
You thought the conference shuffle was done after BYU declared independence? Not so fast, my friend! One week after the season started, there is word of yet another shift. Are you ready for this? Cal-Poly and UC-Davis have announced they are moving their football programs from the Great West to the Big Sky conference.

For posterity, I’ll also copy & paste them after the jump. P.S. But first, courtesy of @jadaily, a song for the occasion: It’s the most wonderful time of… Read more »
Desert News blogger Jared Eborn says that a source has informed him that talks between BYU and the WAC continue and that ESPN is still involved.

Jon Wilner of the San Jose Mercury News added a late night update to his blog with some new info on the MWC/WAC conference shakeup and BYU’s next moves. First, there is the news that BYU has reached out to the West Coast Conference. The WCC doesn’t have football, so this would be the destination for BYU’s other sports if… Read more »
