What is going on. Why is there only silence. Is Boise still negotiating with the BW. Is the BE helping or are they sitting around not helping. Is the BE burning up the phone lines. If this doesn't get done I am going to be unhappy. The Be had plenty of time to work this. Who is in charge and what is getting done right now this very second to ensure Boise is taken care of. The BE better not fumble this away.

Brian Murphy who covers Boise State says we might hear something "Monday"...my guess something will be "leaked" this wknd.

Don't they know this is more important than the Obamacare announcement???

We need answers now!

(I'm half kidding and half serious)

Lots of tweets starting to explode based on Chris Maathuis who is the sports director at the CBS affiliate in Vegas stating BSU staying in the MWC. I absolutely hope this is a last ditch effort at brinksmanship.

‪#BoiseState‬ Coming back to the ‪#MWC‬ . Details are coming up on ‪#8NewsNow‬ So my Saturday will be busy after all.

MWC SOS will kill BSU.

yes it would....and Coach Pete has been pretty instrumental in making sure the AD understand BSU needs to keep pushing forward with facility upgrades which we are in the middle of but far from done....those are not cheap. There could be a lot of fall-out if this ends up being true though quite honestly the guy from Vegas may just be trying to out-scoop everyone else and out on a limb.

Yup...if that the case they are going to have to go unbeaten to make it to a Top 6 Bowl.

BIG EAST without Boise State and if SDSU opts out should go after ECU/USM...simple as that.

Brian Murphy just tweeted tat Boise as not told the MWC that thy are staying or leaving

This is the worst result for boise and the big east.

Next time Boise or a big east team is undefeated - well you guys wouldn't even go to a better conference/get a better team in the conference, why should we include you.

Take this for what you will-

Seeing how news like this seems to always come out first on Twitter I'm actually considering joining twitter! When the heck will an official statement come out???!??!

Even if BSU doesn't pull out today it doesn't mean they are staying in the MWC. It just means they need to pay more to leave.

I saw that....makes no sense to tweet that. Does BSU have to tell the MWC they are staying if they never left? I'm starting to hear a lot of gibberish on the whole deal now; just a stressful day for everyone and who knows what is really going on at this point except for those directly involved.
[edit]Sam Minuteman, that is the only reason I have a twitter account..stuff like this is interesting to watch as it unfolds. and damnit, I've got to mow the lawn..gonna be tough[/edit]

Weird.

Actually Boise needs to let the MWC know if it's staying. If not then the exit payments increase if they want to leave for 2013. I'm sure Ithere way the MWC will want an answer

Exactly! I see Air Force, UNLV or other current members have not told the MW they are staying.

Twitter is so fluid it's really not even about being right anymore, it's about being first, so be wary of any "breaking news" that's uncorroborated.

Actually air force did come out and announced they would stay. Boise could delay exit until 2014 and pay same penalty as now. I'm sure the MWC will not let them just hang in there with no statement as whether thy will stay or leave. They also accepted a Big East invite which they would have o decline.

The Supreme Court ruling showed that even corroboration and more traditional means of reporting aren't always accurate. Dewey beats Truman, etc. The urge to be first has always been there regardless of the medium

Not decline, but pay 5 million dollars to get out of the league.
