MAJOR RUMOR

ItSucksToBeACSURam said:
If any MWC gets poached by the B12, UW has as good as a chance as any. We are already a partial member and have one of the most rabid fan bases in the West. There isnt anyone in the MWC with a killer TV draw. Boise is decent in Idaho and SDSU doesnt draw a ton of people in their own market. I don't think anyone is leaving for realignment.

Big XII would die first before they added us for all sports.

And that goes for every team in the MWC too.

Holy delusional....

Utah Valley is also a partial member, so they're a shoe-in! And we can't forget Northern Colorado, they have as good a chance as anybody.

One of the most rabid fan bases? Our fans complain that the music is too loud...
I didnt say we were a shoe in. I said we have as good as a chance as any.....0!!! No one is getting poached.

Haha I have never heard anyone complain about the noise but I have heard many players and coaches comment on how well we travel. Hell, our run through the MWC Tourney last season were home games. There is value in traveling fanbases. Haha, SDSU can't attract fans in their own city when theyre playing for conference championships. IF Wyoming was playing for Conference championships the football games would be sold out.
+1. Give UW fans a reason and we'll be there

As long as the beer is flowing.

I think this is pretty common....a lot of blue hairs don't like loud music.

Bingo.
 
The MWC and the AAC both have a chance to swallow the other. MWC most likely doesn't care and the AAC sees their shot.

This should be about the MWC taking Houston. Trying for byu and looking at the possibilities with Tulane, Memphis, rice, Utep, and SMU.
 
Personally - I would love to not have Wyoming affiliated with that shit fan-base in San Diego. Biggest bunch of assholes in the conference since bWHYu. And I certainly would love to stay away from a conference that included bWHYu.

Boise is irrelevant to me, hell, they play on that joke of a blue field...they are the clown car of the MWC. IF they ever have a losing record in football, we are going to need about 25000 life rafts to rescue all the people that jump off that ship.

So that leaves CSewe. If UW & CSewe ever split, and are in separate conferences, I will never forgive whomever let it happen. Be it the lack of vision in our AD, the lack of effort at the conference HQ, whatever. I will be one bitter sum bitch.

That all said, if "I" was heading up expansion, my first choice (in the west) would probably be UNLV before anyone else in this shitbox of a conference. Then maybe Air Force. Then a close third with New Mexico and the scum in San Diego.
 
I'm with McPeachy. Now that the separation is almost complete and there isn't anything but egos separating the G5, conference affiliation doesn't mean much. Hell, I'd take something like: WYO, CSU, AF, UNM, UTEP and 3 of any of these: USU, BSU, maybe NMSU (yes I know, but geography and rivalry with UNM and UTEP), UTSA, maybe UNT, or ??? Bball would take a big hit, though.

I guess I'm just not smart enough to understand, but entertainment money (i.e. TV) was/is driving the bus. Teams joining the P5 makes financial sense for the teams stepping up and I would assume the P5 if they make that decision.

For every remaining scenario in the G5, I don't see any realignment that would be financially beneficial. The P5 isn't going to let another conference in. I think byu and even the MWC are going to take significant hits on TV contracts the next time around. The AAC only has cash because of buyouts but those aren't long-term. I get the argument about being the strongest conference for the NY6 bid, but hell that isn't a guarantee. It might even hurt the chances.

I guess I'm just dense, because I can't see the money trail that would drive any realignment in the G5 ranks. If anything, I think some teams may decide to scale back athletics which could drive some rearrangement I suppose.
 
Minor rumor: byu will push for G5 realignment once they get their Big 12 rejection letter. Independence is not sustainable or at least not desirable without an auto NY6 bid. Their egos trump sense and will not permit them to accept the fact they had an overinflated opinion of themselves.

The question is, could byu really force, encourage, or otherwise lead a massive realignment in the G5 ranks? I guess no, but I also guess they are working on it.
