This conference will be fun. I loved playing in Conference USA as well. Looking forward to it!

RE: Welcome to the Big East Broncos and Aztecs.
The conference listed in this thread is every bit as good as the ACC, has huge markets, and I think would be very good most years...in fact the conference put forth in this thread deserves an auto bid to a big time bowl

RE: Welcome to the Big East Broncos and Aztecs.
For those of you that don't know much about San Diego State football, take a look at a list of former Aztecs that are/were in the NFL. We've had some awesome talent, but have never had the budget to really reach our potential ("Sleeping Giant"). This is a step in the right direction.

RE: Welcome to the Big East Broncos and Aztecs.
Glad to have you all aboard! Never imagined my Cincinnati Bearcats would be conference mates with Boise State and San Diego State. In my humble opinion the NBE is a lot better on the gridiron than the ACC and it the NBE will prove it! The new teams want to be here, and I hope will want to see the conference prosper and grow! I can't wait to defend our 2012 BIG EAST championship against the newcommers!

All we need to do now is add BYU and take the PAC 12's place in the Big 4.

RE: Welcome to the Big East Broncos and Aztecs.
Technically they were both OFFICIAL on December 6th, nothing has changed on the Big East contract side since then... back in December, they conference announced the signed contracts and expansion to the Broncos, Aztecs, Knights, Cougars, and Mustangs.

Same over here. I honestly could not care less about the CUSA games on the schedule and can't wait to start playing in the Big East.

#14, BYU, AFA or Fresno St? Which will it be (or all 3)? That is the question.

Yes and this will be a very tough sell in San Diego for the ticket office.

I say we take another swing at AF - perhaps they've come to their senses now that AQ was denied. If not, Fresno State.
BYU is clearly choice #1 to me, but AFA is more than fine.
(07-01-2012 10:16 AM)TripleA Wrote: Because back when east-west divisions were first being discussed, Navy told the BE they wanted to be in the western division. We assume it's due to SDSU and possibly AF being there, But if we go with non-geographical divisions to split up Florida, Texas, and the west coast, it won't matter.
There is also that SMU-Navy series. A western #14 sets things up pretty well, especially if it is AFA, if Navy follows through on its desire to be in the west.
East:
Cincinnati
UConn
Louisville
Rutgers
Temple
UCF
USF
West:
Air Force
Boise State
Houston
Memphis
Navy
San Diego State
SMU
Whether it is AFA or BYU taking the spot, I think we should call it a day with 14 schools.

It's easy, just bust the BCS one more time. Also do what those folks in the south do all the time. After every game get a Big East chant going. Make sure it's nice and loud so the TV audience at home hears you. If all the incoming teams fans do it as well as the remaining teams fans it will certainly help our cause.
