* Boise men's hoops seems very respectable

* If I'm Boise, I do NOT want my football in one league and all other sports in another. That is a bad model.

In my opinion, this is the most likely scenario. And that may be why it is taking so long to make it happen.

I think that is even less likely than Boise being the only new member.

Three new geographic outliers instead of one just increases travel costs for the easterners. There would have to be an entire western division to avoid that problem, and it would have to be several teams from the west, because trying to put central time zone teams like SMU, Houston, and Tulsa in a western division would cause those schools to block the invitations. And adding several new members would dilute conference revenue, so that isn't happening either.
