Getting your player ready...
Western Athletic Conference members Fresno State and Nevada will not join the Mountain West until 2012, settling scheduling uncertainty for members of both conferences.
The WAC announced the agreement early this morning.
Additionally, the two schools will have to pay the WAC $900,000 each, spread out over the next five years. The Denver-based WAC had claimed each school owed $5 million for breaching a contract. As an eight-school conference which includes Boise State next season, MWC schools will play seven league games in football and members will probably scramble to find a non-league opponent.
Still to be determined is whether the MWC will play an eight- or nine-game schedule beginning in 2012 when membership expands to 10 schools.
