I don't think this is what we are looking for:
With this merger looking like it won't happen, there are immediate consequences for the Mountain West, which needs to add schools with the impending departure of TCU, Boise State and San Diego State in 2013.
Each FBS conference has to have at least eight women's sports and six men's sports, with at least six schools competing in every sport the conferences offers.
The Mountain West should immediately look into teams interested in joining the FBS, Appalachian State being a prime example.
