reports are that we've been invited to the Big East

AP Source: Big East to invite Boise State, Air Force, Navy for football only | Voices.IdahoStatesman.com

maybe this time it's for real but who knows.

At this point, why bother. It has lost any football teams worth anything, and should still lose it's auto-BCS bid.

Give Skip Holtz another two years and it will be a different story (esp if other teams like BSU are added into the mix).

if they get all 6 of these teams and BYU or ECU they can salvage the conference

at least before 2017 when apparently the superconferences are going to happen.

if we get a Big East conference like this

East
Rutgers
Uconn
USF
UCF
ECU
Navy

West
Louisville
Cincinnati
Boise State
Houston
SMU
Air Force

there's quite a few programs that could be really good

USF definitely is going forward with Skip Holtz, ECU should be able to do good, they're the only team in North Carolina that cares about football.


Boise State will obviously be good, and we'll continue to grow, Cincinnati is making progress this year, Louisville is going forward with Strong, Houston and SMU are both in a great recruiting area.


by the way for us this would be nice, if we play one of the Florida schools from the East division and continue our rivalry with Fresno State OOC we will play games against teams from the 4 big recruiting states, Ohio, Texas, Florida and California that's huge.

State Board to discuss Boise State's possible move to Big East on Thursday; Boise State says no invite from Big East | Voices.IdahoStatesman.com

no invite yet, but state officials will discuss the possible move thursday.

 

[vancelot23]

Sorry, but that conference doesn't deserve an automatic BCS bid.

 

[Smoke]

The Big Least; a perfect fit for a team like BSU.

You trash half og those teams routinely in your top 25 thread. Don't go all Team Conference on us before the ink is even dry. That conference is Boise and a bunch of also rans, just like the MWC is right now.

 

[24seven]

I think the Vandals should join also.

I'm talking about the future in this thread, in the top 25 poll I'm talking about the present.

screw that, why don't we add Colorado School of Mines, they're a better add.

So these awful teams all have bright futures because they may soon be your conference companions? That is bush league man. Don't go Team Conference. That is lame. The Big East without Pitt, Cuse, WVU and most likely Rutgers and Louisville is a trash conference. You lose the geographical identity. You lose the two richest recruiting beds in Western PA and New York/New Jersey. Look at the recruiting lists for these schools. The MWC is as good if not better than this Frankenconference that the plan proposes.

Hell, Hokie coach Cornell Brown was in Pittsburgh today recruiting already.

not all of them, just the ones I stated I'll admit Uconn, UCF and likely ECU pretty much suck and won't do much and Navy and Air Force are academies which suck some years but at least are good for the every once in awile good year, so there, Houston, SMU, USF, Cincinnati and Louisville are programs that are starting to move forward. Rutgers is in between they will suck or be good I don't know with them. Where are Rutgers and Louisville going??? the Big 12 won't expand beyond 10 at least for a bit.

if Louisville and Rutgers do leave this move wouldn't be worth it and the idea is over.

fact is we have to go somewhere that is going to have the autobid, because we need to have the autobid money to further our program so that a better conference will take us if/when the superconferences break out, right now I'm not sure this massive division thing is going to get us an autobid.

Tuesday Conference Realignment Update | CollegeSportsInfo.com

apparently if they are sending the invites we will likely accept


I think we should get BYU to agree to join with us, if we get them that's a major boost for the whole conference.

us and BYU both can be in the Big East with the same goal

use the money to build up our programs and get in the Big 12.
