COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (AP)—The Mountain West Conference and Conference USA say they are combining their football programs to form a 22-team league
The new conference will spread across five time zones from North Carolina to Hawaii.
Mountain West commissioner Craig Thompson says the leagues made the move to join instead of waiting for teams to be poached or otherwise affected by conference realignment.
The conferences did not say when the merger would take place, nor what the new association would be called.

Just give them their own playoff and championship. Or make them AQ over the Big East.

I thought it was a joke too. I kept reading and waiting for a punchline.
Interesting idea though. I'm cool with it but I'm sure the scheduling will be unfair for a few schools.

The headline was the punchline.

Yes but it's hard to keep track of all the schools coming/going. The MWC is adding Nevada, Fresno St and Hawaii in 2012, but losing TCU. Conference USA currently has 12 schools but could lose teams like UCF to the Big East. Same for Boise/Air Force possibly leaving. Point being, I doubt the numbers will be at 22 come next year.

Yeah I'm curious to see how this all shakes out in terms of what teams go where.

Both were going/are going to be poached. This way they still have 1 conference and some stability when its all done, no matter how many teams leave.

Be funny if it was the MWC and C-USA that killed off the Big East and not the BCS 5.
