The Mountain West presidents could be changing their vote and keep the conference tournament allowing all teams to participate.
The Mountain West tournament announced a big move in December to slash the Mountain West tournament from including all member institutions down to eight.
Well that may be changing and according to Geoff Grammar of the Albuquerque Journal News, the presidents are expected to change their decision this Friday at a scheduled board of directors meeting and keep the conference tournament at full membership.
The change of heart, should it be made official Friday, seems to be twofold: The fact that the league's coaches were not on board with the decision, as some presidents believed they were at the time of their vote, and the realization that the logistics of such a move would prove to be extremely burdensome to fan bases, travel, existing hotel contracts in Las Vegas and other matters.
