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

Wow

I'm not surprised.

As usual, I called this.

Agian with mcmurphy and his unnamed sources. Until boise says it themselves, nothing has changed.

Well, good luck with that. Lol

well there goes the conference

It is time for a signature change for a lot of you!

I really hope this is just some dumb spin or Boise got a helluva good deal in the MWC. I can't see the reasoning behind giving up that schedule and the chance at an auto BCS birth. Im really hoping they know what they're donig and that the MWC deal was reworked or they get some kind of huge concessions, but overall it's kind of disappointing when they didn't even see the Big East's TV deal.

Can't wait for everyone here to tell us how we're not valuable now.

It never even got started. As I suspected. If there is to be a league, the western part of it needs to be abandoned anyway - it made no sense.

I'll miss all the battles on the field and court we've all had. See ya in Cincy for bball next year

BSU may well decide that running the table in a very weak MWC gets them to that BCS slot most of the time. It's decided on rankings... Much easier route there, than in the more competitive east. The trade in is their SOS will be week, so they may never get to compete for the national title.

Que sera sera.

Not really. Even if it's true, you guys will be fine.

It will be interesting to see what SDSU does.

Makes more sense for BSU at this point. Will be interesting to see how it goes down.

bye Boise and SDSU.... it was nice knowing you

Boise, like everybody else, was just trying to get more $. That plan was blasted by the bigger leagues and realignment. Since the $ went out the window for the Big East, there was no reason for them to move.

Kinda had a feeling this would happen lol..

Yep, at least that game isn't effected by realignment. We lost to one MWC at home this year, hoping it doesn't happen again next year.

After next year, Boise has the same chance at an auto-big in the MWC as they would in the Big East. MWC is a much easier travel schedule than what the new Big East would be. On top of it all, the Big East Boise agreed to join is significantly different now. This is true for all the teams that joined at the same time as Boise. Due to location, Boise probably does not gain a lot by joining the Big East now.

I can't believe that Aresco failed at almost everything he was brought in to save... wow.
