Miner Rush, a UTEP Miners community

I'm updating this as quickly as I can based on new information. Today, I've moved Charlotte, UTSA, Louisiana Tech, North Texas, and FIU to Conference USA, reducing their soon-to-be former conferences in kind. As for Old Dominion ... well, that's a different story entirely. The Monarchs have yet to commit. When they do, I'll move them, and wait for the next set of dominoes to fall.

The report comes from an Orlando TV station (the link above is to a Gary Parrish article discussing the original report). Conference USA was spared any damage during the first wave of expansion. If anything, this report should remind us all that there is no telling when everything will stop shifting this summer. Right now, with the Big East unaffected by the Big 10's plans, I am not sure why they would seek expansion to 10 football schools. It wouldn't add any chance at a football championship game and adding UCF and Memphis doesn't add much, if any, history of success either. Let's see if this story picks up traction in the coming days.

This should wrap up the movement for this week. The Texas Regents will reportedly meet on Tuesday to discuss realignment. So, the major wave- the movement of the other 5 Big 12 teams to the Pac 10 could happen then. For Nebraska's fan perspective, check out Corn Nation.
