Say this for those proactive folks from the Mountain West Conference: Indecisive is not part of the league's preferred vocabulary.


It was a few days before the conference held its annual Board of Directors meeting earlier this month, a few days before the eight-team league officially announced it was open to charting a new course of direction, when commissioner Craig Thompson listed the agenda's most significant points:


Said Thompson: "The big issue is No. 1, BCS status; No. 2, BCS status; and No. 3, BCS status."


Out where the real money is, where the boys from the ACC might soon steal from their cartel brethren in the Big East, the Mountain West remains more an afterthought to some than yesterday's breakfast. That might change now.
