SDSU? Nevada? Who needs to come with you to get a move to the BE finished?

Maybe Idaho..

The Mountain West. But if we are gonna go to The Big East I suppose SDSU. Nevada has no attendance. How they are bowl bound every year and get good players is beyond me.

Boise really is between a rock and a hard place. With BYU, Utah, and TCU gone- the MWC is a shell of it's former self. It really is. The Big East is not a perfect solution at all- but it is even if not an AQ conference an improvement. The Alliance does nothing at all to help Boise....

Haven't you seen my MWC grand plan? It looks much better than the Big East. Get it done, and let the schools work on the AQ bid. All of them need to be committed to increasing academics, and facilities. I've already gone into detail that most are preparing to expand/renovate are in the process or have recently done it.

Mountain:

Air Force
Colorado State
Houston
New Mexico
SMU
UTEP
Wyoming

Pacific:

Boise State
Fresno State
Hawaii/Seattle
Nevada
San Diego State
UNLV
Utah State

that group has no shot at AQ ever....

Avg CPU rating currently of your new MWC is 73.11
Avg CPU rating of the new Big East- with San Diego St is 56.25

The worst team in the new Big East- UCF, has 4 teams worse in your MWC than they are...

And, I would suggest that the teams in the new big east are just having a down year... I mean- Navy, UCF, Air Force(for both proposals of course) are all having really down years compared to recently... Even UConn from the current group is having a very down year this year.

Great case in point this year is Wyoming. They've had a great year this year- one of their better in a while. Best since 1999. Do you really think that continues? I sure don't.

If you look at the division that Boise would be in...
your MWC- avg rating of 84.5. Boise would have to play 6 games a year vs that.
BE- 60.2. Boise would play 5 games a year vs that.

That MWC just doesn't do Boise anything at all....
