SMU and Air Force, Houston, Louisville, Cincinnati plus Boise State or West Virginia in a division.

That would be a tough division. I think it would draw very well compared to CUSA west.

That's quite a division. Can you imagine the travel for Boise?

They would only be in the BE for football so It shouldn't be too bad for them. They can schedule WAC and MWC teams for OOC to help with the travel.

That would be an awesome division. Tough as hell, but it will make the division title all that much more reputable.

Don’t' see it as too much worse than our current travel schedule and defiantly a jump up in competition. I like the idea of Navy in our conference as that then could become a rival.

I like that two of our opponents would be in the Rocky Mountain west. Fly fishing opportunities.

We could nickname the west as the "Blood Division". I like it.

Yeah but this article doesn't say who gets left out if Boise is added-so we still are on the cusp probably with UH
