All pure speculation. Good for the brands to be mentioned with MWC and conference re-alignments. I'm sure the artists formerly known as the Go-Go's across the Causeway would love to be mentioned with such regard. But hey, I hear applications are up (unlike their stingers)!
Speaking of the MW (not related to football), 3 of the top 5 teams in the conference right now for basketball will still be in next year (not leaving for the pac-12) and attendance numbers look really good compared to the Big West. Exciting stuff.
