If this was a legit possibility for all sports I think SDSU would be in without question.

I recall that SD State wanted to stay (at least Sterk did) even after Boise decided it wouldn't stay. Then when the estimated TV $ came out, it wouldn't work financially so they went back to the MWC.

That would add probably $500,000 onto every schools travel budget line item...not happening.

IF it was football only and IF we added three western teams (which would help limit travel) then I dont think it would be overly expensive but as much as I love SDSU and think they have amazing potential, I dont see it happening either.

For travel, expense, geographic fit and a host of other reasons... Air Force or maybe CSU would be the best western partner... and if we go east, Army is the only real choice.

Yes, but those IFs were not part of the post I was replying to. Football only would still be around $200,000 when factoring in the shipping of all equipment and travel/lodging for 120 people across the country. Honestly though, I would want to add SDSU in for basketball too...they are a genuinely good basketball product, and that would completely delegitimize the MWC in that sport if they left.
