Boise staying in MWC

[NT03]

@McMurphyESPN: Boise State remaining in MWC & will not join Big East in 2013, sources told @espn

[MDH]

Not surprised

[Wag Tag]

Tulsa to the Big East? UTEP to the MWC? I hope not !!!!!!!!

[NT03]

With the move , SDSU will not have to pay the exit fee if they choose to do the same

[TIgreen01]

sh!t

Just another nail in the BE coffin. I wonder how many more it will take?

The MWC will go after SDSU now. Then look at UTEP, UH, Tulsa, and SMU. Would it suck if we lost UTEP and Tulsa, yes. But if and when the BE folds we could add back Memphis, UCF, Tulane and others. Although I'm sure the CUSA commish is kicking himself in the nuts with the ODU add.

This is the big domino, for now. Wonder if this will help or hurt CUSA and more importantly North Texas. Time will tell. Like I said in a previous post, if North Texas doesnt start winning, it doesnt matter.

Good point. Just give me regional competition !

"Since Chris Petersen became the Broncos' coach in 2006, Boise State is 84-8, finishing with four top-10 Associated Press rankings in the past seven seasons."

Wow!

Realignment can of worms #27 is now open.

[UNTflyer]

If history is any indication, this can't be anything but good for us.

Wow!

That's insane! Come on Coach Mac!

Nice knowing you Big East

[golfingomez]

Kind of surprised no one has posted the obligatory, 'here's what Smoo is saying on their board' link

[Daddy Dumpsalot]

Maybe someone should persuade CUSA to kick out FIU, FAU, and UTSA and invite back the other schools that left for the BE.

Here you go.

Talk of wanting to go to the ACC or PAC 12. I think they think a little much of themselves if they seriously think they will be in the PAC 12. Maybe the ACC but the ACC will be picked apart in years to come by the Big 10, Big 12, and SEC.

That is all that matters to me. We need teams to play in Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma.

@JFowlerCBS: A MWC source says Texas schools have recently expressed interest in joining league. UTEP, Rice, Houston, UTSA could be in that mix.

I am absolutely losing interest in college football as an overall entity.

I have a hard time believing MWC is terribly interested in Tulsa, SMU, or Houston at this point.

They will take back SDSU unless they think they can lure BYU back.

I don't see any of them brining enough dollars to the table to make the travel worth the time and cost.

The question is will the rest of nBE stay together. I feel pretty confident that Memphis, Cincy, UConn, and Temple want to be together and want to add schools that help basketball because all four make too much off basketball to add just anyone. I see them pushing to look at schools like UMass, ODU, Charlotte, UAB and maybe Tulsa.

I'm not sure that what Memphis, Cincy, UConn, and Temple want is compatible with what Houston and SMU and maybe Tulane want.

If the net result is regionalization. Things might actually get better.

Finally, realignment news that actually makes sense.

Now we just need SDSU to say to this Big East non-sense and get back to regional conferences that make sense.

[cdizzle86]

How crazy would that be if UTSA got an invite?? From nothing to in the top non-BCS conference in a coupe of years.

Whatever the scenario, I like our spot. Playing more known opponents, may have the ability to eat up some of the nBE leftovers, and SMU without a home. The only thing better that could happen is SMU to the Sun Belt. Haha
