Officials from the Mountain West Conference plan to take conversations with officials of Conference USA to the “next level” regarding issues affecting the league, including access to the Bowl Championship Series and marketing rights, according to an article in the San Diego Union-Tribune.
UCF is one of the schools with higher executives involved in the talks according to MWC Commissioner Craig Thompson, along with C-USA schools Tulane and SMU. Boise State, Air Force and TCU will have executives in representation for the MWC in the talks, which are scheduled to take place in Dallas-Fort Worth in late September or early October.
The purpose of the meeting would be to further extend the conversation concerning BCS access and a postseason championship game between the champions of both leagues that happened when commissioners of both leagues met about two weeks ago.
What does this mean for UCF?
Obviously it means they would get what they have been wanting: a legitimate shot to make a BCS Bowl. If both leagues agreed to play a postseason game between champions that would allow UCF to play much better competition, like Boise State and TCU, and it would give them a chance to get some national exposure. It would also further help recruiting.
