Just to be safe we are keeping your name off of all alumni lists for a while.

so it might be rumor mongering at it’s finest (which I have no problem with)

ESPN is brokering a deal to save C-USA and the MWC and some of the homeless orphans from the WAC. TCU and Louisiana Tech would joining C-USA putting TCU, UTEP, SMU, and Houston in the same conference, and giving them 14 teams.

Both C-USA and the MWC would be tied together for ONE BCS spot that the highest rated conference winner would get.

The Cotton Bowl will be announced as the 5th BCS Bowl Game. (this is part of what Patterson knows)

Another crazy rumor along those lines: C-USA winner and the MWC would play in a championship game, like a conference Championship game…but each side would be the conference champ….it would be like a playoff play in game. Winner goes to the BCS. Where would this game be played? Jerry World (this rumor I think is a stretch)

This is the deal the BYU is balking at. BYU thinks they can make more money as an Indy. Then they can in this deal, which they look at as “really is that the final end game? Is that all?”

[1983 Cotton Bowl]

I'm probably misunderstanding, but if TCU and La. Tech were to move to C-USA, then 14 of the 20 schools listed above would be C-USA members. That would only leave 6 for the MWC. What am I missing?

I paid Terry off so I am good. Raplhie heads up NY Mustang CLub so also good

[couch 'em]

Surely this is a misquote of "best of the 20 CUSA & MWC teams".

[FroggieFever]

No.

There are already 5 BCS bowls. Your source may be suspect.

Sugar
Fiesta
Rose
Orange
Nat. Champ.

[WorldStang]

incorrect.. 4 BCS bowls.. 1 National Championship. The National Championship rotates throughout the BCS Bowl Sites.. and the Cotton would finally get to host.
