which MWC schools would be able to function as an independent in football? survive on their own without riding the coat-tails of other conference mates to survive? whether it's tv money, travel subs or tourney credits or bowl shares etc.
here is my list of teams that could survive on their own as an independent
1. Hawaii
2. San Diego St.
3. Boise St
4. UNLV
5. Air Force
6. Fresno st. (maybe)
the rest of you to include Wyoming will have join a conference to survive, most likely the Big Sky or CUSA. it's a testament to how strong your programs reall
