It basically says what we have been talking about, except they put it in terms that the MWC "has opted not to extend its scheduling partnership with Oregon State and Washington State for the 2025 season. The decision creates uncertainty for the remaining Pac-12 schools as both sit without a long-term conference home." It kind of sounded to me that maybe the two Pac-12 schools were willing to do it on their side even though it wasn't put exactly in those terms, and it was the MW that said, no thank you.

It also says, "the MWC said in a statement to the Associated Press."..... "For the 2025 season, the Mountain West and its member institutions are moving forward with their conference and nonconference schedules. Our focus remains on the current season and our exceptional teams."

I liked what the Pac-12 commissioner Teresa Gould said in July, "I don't know if the Mountain West thinks they need these two schools, honestly....." The two schools have basically treated the MW with distain, and it shouldn't be any shock to the schools especially after media people said that the two schools don't bring a lot to the table as far as TV media deals is concerned. There isn't any agreement for the schools to even get together with the MW to discuss things. The MW is heading on as if OSU and WSU are not even on the radar. Oregon State has six nonconference games scheduled for the 2025 season, and Washington State has five. Per the report, "Still, pulling together a 12-game FBS schedule on short notice will be a monumental task for two teams that will, for all intents and purposes, compete as FBS independents in 2025."

I wouldn't be surprised if these two schools approach some MW schools independently to try and schedule games. I don't know how the MW would handle this scenario. But when the two schools parked all of their other sports (excluding baseball) and especially including men's and women's basketball with the WCC that was a huge slap in the face to the MW. I would imagine that the MW scheduled the 2024 football season with the thought, and maybe understanding in some people's minds that the two schools would bring their other sports and especially talking about men's and women's basketball to the MW. The two schools, OSU and WSU appear to be further away than ever to an agreement with the MWC......but you can't ever say never.

SMU to a three set sweep over vb powerhouse Nebraska tonight. Former Riverton and Kelly Walsh standout Naya Shime, a former outside hitter at UW that was run off in the Chad Callihan scandal let SMU in kills.

After reading the posts following the shite show that was Saturday night, its more apparent than ever that the fan base is pretty ignorant to the details of the Wyoming athletic program. I found it hilarious how many Craig Bohl defenders ran to his defense, "bet you miss Craig Bohl, you haters". Uhhh...dude. Craig Bohls hand picked replacement is the coach. Junior is the defensive coordinator. The old Bald coach was on the sidelines for crying out loud.

The program is where it is because Burman has been lazy and frankly, incompetent. Nepotism equals lazy in my opinion. Saturday is what nepotism gets you. Friends and family run things and not necessarily the most qualified. It happens everywhere and is frankly a really bad idea for a myriad of reasons not all of them exclusively bad to the program, but even for the coach and ad doing the lazy hiring. What happens when Aaron Bohl's shitty defense continues to blow assignments and not tackle? Will Sawvel have to fire him and endanger his friendship with Craig Bohl? That, of course, is the least of our worries but still just another negative consequence. Nepotism is common and mostly just LAZY.

To finish, Burman let this crap happen. I am not as big of a Burman hater as some. I can mention the good hires like Shyatt, Mark Branch and even Craig Bohl. But I can also cite Edwards, Schroyer obviously. And Burman's slow response to NIL is glaring. Its time for a change. Burman needs to move on and Wyoming needs a fresh start. Maybe Sawvel and company can save the season. Maybe it wont be all for nothing and not another Vic Koening disaster but now more than ever, its time for Burman to go.
