The conference realignment talk was taking a serious break until yesterday when the Mountain West and Conference USA decided to form a love affair.
Officials are not calling it a merger but an association. Whatever! It sounds like a good ‘ole merger to me.
There are 16 teams that have declared their love for each other. Hawaii only wants part of the love in joining for football only.
The Big East was the first conference to feature 16 teams. Now with some teams leaving it, this new association should be the biggest league in the college ranks. The Mountain West/Conference USA folks could begin as early as 2013-14.
The old saying, “You cannot tell the players without a score card ,” could hold true for this new conference and the other conferences’ comings and goings.
One thing is sure: college realignment is alive and well. The Mountain West/Conference USA folks didn’t want to be left out of the party.
BTW, Happy Valentine’s Day. I can assure you I didn’t use the above love themes on purpose.
