Nothing earth shattering in there. Boise was playing both sides to see who would cave first. MWC caved first.

Tip o' the Day: Always be careful what you put in an e-mail, because you just never know who may end up reading it someday !

They did what was in the best interest of the School... Not what is in the intetest of a dying conference that isn't bringing anything to the table as far as increased revenue for its reamaining members. You may not like the tactics used, but at least their leadership is proactive about things. They will make more revenue than us and will also most likely have a direct shot into the 6th BCS seat at the table year in and year out. Meanwhile our leadership is MIA with their thumb up their butt.

When did I say I had a problem with the tactics? Of course they were doing what they felt was in their best interest.
