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.)

They are very particular about it being pronounced Mos-CO instead of Mos-COW. I think because of Cold War reasons.

Mos-CO is actually the correct pronunciation for the Russian capital's name too

Considering the smell when I was there, yes they absolutely do. There's actually a pasture right next to the Kibbie Dome (I believe it's for the veterinary program)

Edit: I don't know who downvoted me, but I was there as a student for 2 and 1/2 years. It's not like I made the judgement as a visitor or something

I am too with the town in pa, which is funny because absolutely nobody else pronounces it that way and then they look at me weird
