Boise State joins Mountain West

The Mountain West Conference moved swiftly Friday to bolster itself in the wake of the massive shake-up in the collegiate landscape, adding Boise State to bring its membership to 10 schools.

 

The action came in the wake of Thursday's announcement that Colorado was leaving the Big 12 Conference to join the Pac-10. MWC directors on Monday had tabled a decision about Boise State during meetings in Jackson, Wyo. Commissioner Craig Thompson said the conference's presidents reconvened for a 7 a.m. conference call and in a unanimous vote, finalized the invitation.

 

"First and foremost, we wanted to make sure we got Boise State," Thompson said. "We'll move forward from there."

 

Thompson said the catalyst for the decision was the announcement by Colorado. Boise State will join the MWC effective July 1, 2011. Speculation now centers on which other schools the MWC might add.

 

Nebraska announced Friday that it is leaving the Big 12 for the Big Ten, which leaves the Big 12 hanging by a thread.

 

"I doubt that the shuffling will stop at just Colorado and Boise State," Thompson said. "We are having conversations with a number of other institutions, including members of the Big 12 Conference. It's like a game of musical chairs; you want a place when the music stops."
