Heed Ferd's Words!

Ferd Lewis writes that UH needs to be prepared for the next conference shuffle.

UH should take to heart the events of the past weeks with a sense of urgency and lay the groundwork so that when the next tsunami of expansion rolls across the major college landscape it is holding onto something more than just a prayer.

Because while the departure of Boise State significantly weakened the Western Athletic Conference this week, it could have been worse for UH. Much worse.

The nightmare scenario would have been if the MWC lost more than Utah and been forced to raid the WAC for multiple members without knocking on UH's door. Imagine being stranded in a WAC minus Boise State, Fresno State and Nevada.
