It was trying to secure the best national FB TV attraction still out there, and it agreed to bring along SDSU as a travel partner, to make it more palatable.

As another poster said, Boise and SDSU saw the official financial projections. This guy didn't.

+1. All Kustra and BSU were promised was a "western partner" and they got it. After signing on the dotted line BSU lost all leverage with respect to further membership additions. It was clear from the outset that the Big East is run by eastern basketball schools and that it will do what most benefits eastern basketball schools.

I remain convinced BSU made the right move from a financial standpoint but a "true Western division" was never in the cards.
