No matter what happens to the Mountain West as it attempts or doesn't attempt or whatever to merge with Conference USA, at least the Big East has fought off the threat of collapse.

That's not good. The Aztecs haven't even joined the Big East yet, and the MWC is among the least-stable habitats in all of college sports right now. It's nice to have options, I guess.
SDSU, Boise State, Navy, Central Florida, SMU, Houston and Memphis are set to join the Big East over the next few years, bringing the conference up to 12 football teams along the way.
