My first reaction was Air Force but I'm thinking round 2 of Boise & SDSU.

Adding Boise, SDSU, and Air Force would make quite the addition. It would even us up, and be enough western teams to maybe make it worthwhile. Idk if it could work out, but it would definitely push us closer to P6 than G5.

I read something on twitter that gives some credence to this rumor. The MW exit fee is apparently equal to the schools last year of conference revenue. If accurate, if you were going to move—this year might be the year to do it.

The problem with adding those 3 is they wouldn't want to be "all sports" and there is no place to park their olympic sports, unless the MWC would agree to keep them which I seriously doubt. Maybe they could be added for this football season only, but not as permanent members.

Would be awesome, basically locking us in for the NY6 every year. And if there is ever an 8 team playoff with a G5 stipulation, we would be a lock in there too. I hope there is some validity to this rumor and not just Boise kicking the tires again

Boise has a special deal with the MW that pays them pretty well. I'd have to think that anyone from the MW "reaching out" to the AAC would be in the front range. Colorado State doesnt have a special deal---thus they actually make less than the "average" payout quoted for MW teams due to the special deal for Boise. That also means that CSU has a locked in financial disadvantage when competing against Boise. The key to me with CSU being a MW member very likely to reach out is their stadium. Colorado St funded their new 240 million dollar stadium completely with debt. The bond payments are to be paid with revenue streams created by stadium operations. Furthermore, the stadium bond payments are tiered and jump 4 million this year to 12 million a year. There will be no revenue from that stadium in 2020. Thats a problem.

New Mexico, Wyoming, or Air Force would be other front range schools that could view the AAC as a viable option.

Any of those wouldn't be bad adds except maybe New Mexico.

Boise likes being the "Texas" of the MW and our side is not fans of them, they get more money so I agree it isn't them. They just like to ***** because they think they deserve better that wouldn't change here. I doubt anyone wants to deal with that nonsense for a limited return.

New Mexico is in a lot of financial trouble and their governor is being pretty strict.

Wyoming doesn't do much for us.

SDSU the Cal State system isn't having in person classes, the budget is getting cut in the state, now they are going to fly across the country? I would say that is a no.

CSU is always a good choice with somebody but rarely by themselves, they are a mess, coaching scandal, covid issues, and now pandemic ensured finacial issues with the bonds. Tag them along with AFA though and they make a ton of sense.

AFA is definitely one of them, we are the closest schools playing to them and the Navy connection. Also the MW has already approved some games, so they probably know they can get a pass for this year.

My guess is two schools have contacted us, but only one is MW, C. Austin is terrible at this. But BYU and AFA make sense and we know are playing this year, they are both teams in the geographic mountain west. Plus if they are contemplating a permanent change BYU would be able to put in a good word with the WCC.

If any thing is happening that's the way it looks to me.

We don’t want Wyoming.

I'm not saying that this has no chance, but I'd trust C. Austin Cox's "multiple sources" about as much as I'd trust discount sushi from a 7-Eleven in Tulsa...

Listen, you take that back right now. I have never in my life, that is just so insulting, basically calling us trash, I mean I get insulting C. Austin Cox, who doesn't? Over the line though, basically spit in our face and then slapped us.

Tulsa is the home of Quik Trip, fondly known as QT, we don't allow 7-11s. Please refrain from implying we would accept such a place when we have the cleanest, friendliest convience store with a fully functioning QT kitchens in each one.

7-11 is some dirty OKC type store.

WAC actually.

Doesn’t surprise me that MW schools are reaching out. See that the AAC is playing and the MW isn’t, doesn’t set well. Namely Boise and Air Force. AF must be a little upset the Army and Navy are playing and they can’t.

Florida noob in here thinking Tulsa has 7/11's. Lulz

Oklahoma cracks me up. Here for a wedding and the last three meals the servers have asked if black pepper, onions or bell peppers are too spicy.

Even the waitress at Jimmy’s Egg said to watch out for the omelette as the chef likes black pepper.
