Mountain West & Hawaii in discussions for full membership…

[Maroon Eagle]

Not even a little surprise. Hawaii is already a football-only member of the conference.

Makes sense. It can’t be that much of a difference to travel in the Big West footprint than the Mountain West and the Mountain West is now incentivized to shell out the extra travel to keep the conference together.

The MW situation is only better than Conference USA. Hawaii is probably a better add than any of those teams, assuming they actually get their stadium built.

I honestly thought if the MW imploded, Hawaii would end up as an FCS team, but looks like they’re going to make it.

Hawaii should hold out for a B10 offer. Then the girl's golf team can travel 6000 miles for a match vs Rutgers.

Maybe so.

The sticking point here is travel costs.

IDK. Discussing MWC football is a hard conversation. Kind of like discussing expert strategies for tic-tac-toe or the best hits of the Disco era on music. Why bother?***********
