well with everyone leaving the Mtn West conference I guess the station didn't have a chance

On February 12, 2012, the Mountain West announced that it would disolve at the end of the 2012-2013 academic year, with its remaining members joining with members of Conference USA and "2 to 6 more schools" to form a new, as-yet-unamed conference

Bummer as I liked the games on The Mtn

Somehow, this will be D*'s fault too.

 

[Mr Tony]

merged threads

with the conference merging with another conference (C-USA) why have a station if the conference doesnt exist?

Will the channel be gone on May 31 or re-branded for the new conference?
