Boise Back on the Front Burner?
May 14th, 2010 @ 8:31pm


In light of daily Big Ten/Big 12/Pac-10 expansion rumors, wouldn't it be ironic if the Mountain West Conference is actually the first league to actually increase its membership?
Media in a couple of WAC cities have been buzzing with speculation about Boise State's rumored move to the Mountain West (http://voices.idahostatesman.com/2010/05/14/ccripe/bleymaier_talks_about_conference_expansion_athleti cs_budget_sche#comment-321449).
*******
Here are some of WAC Commissioner Karl Benson's latest comments regarding Boise State's potential departure (http://www.lcsun-news.com/las_cruces-sports/ci_15080875), as reported by the daily paper in Las Cruces, NM.
******* I anticipated that the MWC would extend an invitation to Boise State in time to add the Broncos in time for the 2011-12 season; the invitation timetable was the only question. I sort of expected something to have happened before now, but the June MWC Presidents' meetings and July 1 WAC invitation deadline are still far enough apart to get ducks in a row. Stay tuned.

I don't think anything will happen until the Big Ten makes an announcement. They are the first domino that needs to fall..... after that things are going to get crazy.

TCU will probably still be around in the MWC.... They are not real attractive to the Big 12 as they don't want "anther" Texas school in the mix.

And BYU is getting courted by the Big 12.... and the PAC 10 has made inquiries....

But again.... it all hinges on what the Big 10 does.... and why the Big 10 you ask? Look at the payout each of those schools get.... simple formula.... follow the money....
