It wouldn't surprise me. If I were a betting man, I'd bet heavily that SDSU is gone from BE.

I can see SDSU leaving and with good reason on their part. I don't think the tv money we would get would be worth them having to fly over the US to play football. I think though Boise leaving was the dumbest decision they could make. They should have asked themselves... Has being in the MWC and winning it most the time, really improve their program? I mean if they are fine with being lifetime mediocre then by all means they made the right decision.

They've never won an out-right MWC championship.

Perhaps we should say we'll take 50% or even 33% of a teams normal share.......still way more $$$ than our athletic department is used to from CUSA...and more than we'll get from CUSA or the BE.
