There are others (myself included) who say that even if a BE invite was coming, we'd turn it down and stick with the hopes that the Alliance works out..

So if you had a choice between the two options (BE vs. Alliance) which would you take for USM?

Stay where we are. No way would I want to be in the Big Least left overs. The only thing they have over CUSA right now is better bowls. The schools who left are realizing that the money promised is not there and the cost of moving has not warranted it. CUSA will get stronger as the new schools improve, which I believe they will. USM is now back on track too. Meanwhile, the AAC is getting weaker. It is a conference with no fans, but exists is a TV market (and no one watches). I'll stay where we are. May not be what I would prefer, but it is the best thing for us now.
