08/18/2010 - Fresno, CA (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Fresno State and the University of Nevada accepted invitations to join the Mountain West Conference late Wednesday night.
The two schools received invites earlier Wednesday, the same day it was reported Brigham Young University has decided to leave the MWC and become an independent in football while re-joining the Western Athletic Conference in all non-football sports beginning in the fall of 2011.
"The addition of Fresno State and Nevada further enhances the Mountain West Conference," said MWC commissioner Craig Thompson. "Our board of directors has continued to be diligent and aggressive in executing our strategy for positioning the MWC in the national landscape. We are excited to welcome these two institutions into the Mountain West. Both fit geographically and create new conference rivalries."
Fresno State had competed in the WAC since 1992 and Nevada since 2000. It has not been determined if the two schools will begin competing in the MWC in 2011 or 2012.
"This is an exciting day for Fresno State and for Bulldog football," head football coach Pat Hill said. "The new look of the Mountain West is a very good football conference and will have the opportunity to earn an automatic spot in the BCS. We are looking forward to it."
If BYU does, in fact, leave the MWC, it will be left with 10 teams, including Boise State, which announced it was leaving the WAC earlier this year to join the ranks. Utah is leaving the conference for what will be called the Pac-12.
