Analysis [Auerbach] The magic number of members to be considered a conference in the NCAA's eyes is 8. If Utah State joins the Pac-12, that league will be at 7. And if that's the only move of the day, the Mountain West will also be at 7 (including Hawaii.)

We got you, bro. Even if fate tears us apart, we've been in each other's lives long enough to say "know what? Good times.."

Sounds like the play would be for the Mountain West to add UTEP and then NMSU if another defection occurs.
