It would be great if we could land 16 playing football with Navy and Air Force FB only. Add 4 non FB teams like Gonzaga, St Mary's, VCU, and George Mason.

too many ways to split money...you can pick teams up later if you need them...all those teams wouldn't pay their way...

the mods should contact Blaudshun and ask him to post here on occasion. not to dilute his blog but to comment on some of our nonsense.

I have nothing about Tulane, but...

Houston has been a quality basketball program in the past
Yeah what, 30 years ago? Loyola was good in the 60's want to play them Beej?

SMU does have Larry Brown, so they'll be very good soon

If he even sticks around, they still won't even be that great. They lost to Arkansas Little-Rock by double figures. UC beat them by 35.

UCF has gotten pretty damn good quickly.

NIT level program at best

Wwwwwwwwwwwowwwwwwwwwwww!!!!!

That's some in-depth analysis there. Almost as remarkable as Rerun's (from "What's Happening?") method of analysis for picking NFL winners.

You've truly extended yourself with that critical assesment, Bounce. I think I'll call you Rerun from now on.

It fits you like a silk bodystocking.

The sunshiner number is $100 mil. The gloom and doom number is $40 mil. Splitting the difference would yield $70 million. I predict between $60 and $80 mil.

If you were getting that kind of deal, BSU wouldn't be looking to get out.

It suits you.

No, I'm pretty sure I nailed it. I know what I am talking about when it comes to college basketball. While you know what you are talking about when it comes to gifs, hilariously sad "bling, bling" signatures and memes.

Ok, Rerun. We all know that your "secret sauce" is choosing whichever mascot meets your "furry" fantasies.

bounce, you are so far out in space, we can hardly see you any more. Come back to earth man! :)

I am living in the real world. Those on this board have been living in denial for over one year about the state of the Big East. Thankfully for you all, there has been a poster (me) willing to deal with reality so you all don't get your hopes up.

A lot of jealousy being displayed towards me by my fellow posters.

No, it has more to do with them trying to get the MWC to bend over for all of their TV rights. If they can get the MWC to do that, god bless them and the MWC. I want my school nowhere near that train wreck.

Funny BSU has said nothing , they seem to have a plethora of unpaid spokesmen and sources...lol

The MWC didn't want Boise in the first place, not until Utah left for the PAC. And even when they did take Boise, they put a ton of restrictions on them.

Please Aresco, make this happen!

If in fact his estimated TV contract value is correct Boise St will stay...No way they come close to that kind of money in the MWC. We all know money is going to be the deciding factor.

The problem is they're hurting the bargaining position of Aresco by not shouting these rumors down and stating full speed ahead like SDSU.

Agree with this

If the "best of the other schools" Big East Conference gets $100 million annually, they should take the deal and run straight to the bank.

Considering the fact that CBS was also a player the MWC's sudden contract re-negotiation, it seems that there is a rat in the woodpile.

Let's hope he doesn't wait too long to get the conference realignment started. It just seems too quiet and it makes you wonder if anybody is doing anything because they aren't real informative by the conference office or even by our new AD. I don't know if any of us will ever get into a BCS Conference or not, but I would at least to be in a one that is trying to put a good product out for people to watch. I like the EAST-West idea, and feel they can make it work if the schools are in agreement to make it as a group until something better comes along. Do the best you can with what's left, and we'll be okay.
