I am tired of hearing of this topic. Nothing makes me more annoyed then this topic. The point is mute. This will not happen unless bcs is involved so we all have a chance at the megabucks. The bcs doesn't want to share so it will not happen. The MWC was formed to bring all of the old buddies back to one nice group that would be affordable and keep the rivaliers going. TCU had no home. They needed a group to play with and they had a lot to offer in several sports that made them competitive. So, it was smart to bring TCU in to our fold. They have lived up to their name and have competed well after adjusting to our richly diverse conference.
That was luck that a conference disolved and a good school was hanging. That is not the case with BSU. It is king of its conference. Not abandoned. They want our share of the loot and not to contribute to it as they have no way to do that in a way that would benefit all of the MWC members. Not everyone in the conference is into football. It is all about the money! TCU brought in several different sports that would generate revenue. Yet again another reason not to add a poser.
For the sake of argument why add one more when we would have to add others to balance. The MWC would be like the WAC (with the better MWC teams though) and more schools to feed. Plus why do that when are a power conference now. Why share the money with more schools. That doesn't make sense.
But BSU is so powereful! It crush all! Right... Sorry the smurfs would be severly beaten and would make a lower crappy bowl maybe. Being king of a not so tough WAC does nothing for them when they take on several good teams. It makes it a little more difficult to win when you don't have time to prepare. It isn't fun to lose. Not to mention didn't TCU beat them? I guess maybe we already have our one good team we wanted.
BSU is wrong for the conference in so many ways...
I will give that football is a strong point. Smurfs can play pigskin but so can our current members and our top 3 can beat them. So what. TCU has a long standing of strong football just not in the last ooh 8 years. Will their gritty image last long enough to make a tradition and is that something we want?
Do they even play other sports or do they just find random people and put them out there?
BSU has recently changed from a trucker school to a football school. That is impressive. That is a selling point that will
drive any conference wild!
No one likes them. Wyoming doesn't like CSU but that is a bitter rivalier. We still want to beat on each other to show the other one we are better then them. (Wyoming is always better even if we don't win!) BSU is like a snot nose kid that is always trying to say he is good and he always wins. He can't spell anything or do math but he can play baseball and football decent but no other sports. Who is to say BSU has already peaked out.
This is the most I have ever spoke of TCU but they are the real deal and it was an "experiment" that went well. BSU is not that caliber of school.
A flash in the pan with no diversify.
We should talk more poke football. That is more pleasant and full of hope.
