The MWC announced on Wednesday that it has offered the two the chance to join and leave the Western Athletic Conference and join a league that's losing Utah - and possibly BYU- next season but gaining Boise State, another WAC school.
But there is an issue... a pretty big one...
After Boise State announced its departure, the remaining WAC members signed a $5 million buyout agreement that would be assessed to any member that left the conference within the next five years.
With the budget issues that are in California and Nevada these days, it might be a big problem- even with the invite...
Fresno State Presdient John Welty, according to KGPE-TV in Fresno, accepted but the deal won't be officially announced until later this evening.
In a statement, Welty said:
“Fresno State is honored to have received the invitation to join the Mountain West Conference. We are seriously considering the invitation, and do so with the best interests of our Athletics program, our university, our community and Bulldog fans as our top priorities.”
