We have been speculating about the arrival of the so-called "superconference" in college football for some time now.
Well, maybe this qualifies (emphasis on "maybe").
On Monday, officials from the Mountain West Conference and Conference USA announced a new partnership agreement that will create a 18- to 24-team "superleague"--a conference (or, in their words, "association") that will include members from nearly coast to coast. The hope--and it seems to be a realistic one--is that by combining their strengths (relative though they may be) the leagues can gain greater leverage in the college football world and, perhaps, see their league champion catapulted further up the bowl pecking order.
