They have basically been without a conference rival since 1999 when the MWC was created. UTEP is on an island in Texas and New Mexico has traditionally been their biggest rival with New Mexico State also being close in proximity.

So if Air Force leaves, the MWC is down to Utah State, Wyoming, UNLV, UNR, UNM, SJSU, Hawaii.

Add UTEP, NMSU. Look at Idaho, Montanas, and Dakotas.

The PAC-12 implosion didn't waive fees, so I assume the MWC implosion will be

If Air Force leaves for the AAC, the PAC-X could add 4 more MWC teams and avoid

The PAC doesn't want 4 more MWC schools. UNLV & maybe New Mexico.

New Mexico needs a provision that they must enhance their commitment to football

UTEP and NM ST might rather stay in CUSA

I suspect that this is where USU will go, or the MWC will absorb the CUSA... one or the other

I agree and they're isolated in CUSA, the MWC would reduce travel for them

Hawaii is football only, too.

Hawaii has to be considering dropping their football program at this point right?
