No matter what happens to the Mountain West as it attempts or doesn’t attempt or whatever to merge with Conference USA, at least the Big East has fought off the threat of collapse.

SDSU, Boise State, Navy, Central Florida, SMU, Houston and Memphis are set to join the Big East over the next few years, bringing the conference up to 12 football teams along the way.
