Whats the latest on Nevada/Fresno joining soooner rather than later?

Any word on the whole Nevada/Fresno leaving the WAC but getting sued because their commish is a biatch?

Last I saw there was an arbitrator involved and basically a mutually agreed to gag order

My uninformed sense is that they'll stay in the WAC for one more year.

Mine, too.

I certainly don't have any inside information, but crapping out the WAC by making them too small to be a conference, even for one year is awfully harsh (except for USU; but I have no information that leads me to believe that the rest of the WAC6 was an active player in the conspiracy to bust the MWC).

That makes me think that an arbitrator or mediator would try to keep Fresno/Nevada in the WAC for 2011, particularly if the fight to collect the exit penalty is abandoned. Rough justice, I know.

Both Nevada and Fresno would have a fair chance at winning the conference next year without the Broncos.

Perhaps the more intriguing way to ask the question is: Who's going to be in the MWC in 2011? Eight teams? And therefore everyone needs five non-conference games? On relatively short notice, too.:blink:
