That's good for the MWC. Some stability and good coaches.

I agree. The top of the MWC has a chance to be good for some time. It's great to see its top coaches stay in conference.

and where do they get the money to pay to keep good coaches? Not from the BCS. We have to share the BCS money with other non-BCS conferences, so it's not that much once it gets watered down that much. Nope, it comes from the much maligned TV deal. This is going to be what helps the MWC stay somewhat competitive while the WAC and other non-BCS leagues will only get worse over time. In basketball the WAC has pretty much fallen off the planet and will never recover, IMO, although USU may continue to be ok since basketball is the only thing they have and the only thing they care about.
