It was more than a thought, at that moment (December 2012) the Big East was so desperate on making sure that Boise and SDSU were coming that UNLV and Fresno would have been invited as part of the "western wing". They'd be members right now if they wanted. I had heard UNLV didn't want to go without Nevada who had finally made it into the MWC. Air Force wouldn't come without the front rangers. Boise wouldn't come without a sweetheart deal, BYU wouldn't come because they thought they'd go to the Big 12, and on and on....it worked out well in the end as the AAC has been better than anyone ever expected.

I get it...But that article was 5 years ago.

At that time the Aztecs and UNLV did not have a new Stadium coming. Things change.

But UMass and Georgia State do not get you into Southern California. That is the key.

I know many on here hate Boise St. because of the way the Big East about-face went down...., but there is no way the AAC should consider a western expansion without Boise.

While the academics stink, Boise St. is *easily* the flagship for Idaho for football. And, yes, I know Idaho is a small state (1.68M population). But, note that Idaho is not much smaller than West Virginia (1.8M) or Nebraska (1.9M) and is growing at one of the fastest paces in the country. And, like West Virginia and Nebraska (and many other smaller states with great college football - like Arkansas, Mississippi, Iowa, etc.) Boise St. has the following, support, and resources to continue to excel in football. They have a bigger foundation and better recipe than the small fish in a big pod (ie, large market) strategy.

Boise is among the G5 leaders for average home game attendance. And, Boise has already designed a fairly easy stadium expansion to increase capacity to 48K. End zone seating right now is pretty weak, which enables the fairly straightforward and relatively inexpensive expansion.

The cause of much of the angst is Boise St.'s sweet-heart MWC deal for which they spurned the Big East. But, there is a reason why ESPN broadcasts every Boise St. home game and why the MWC bent over backwards to keep the Broncos around. While the local market has significance, the better measure of TV value is whether the team can cause the casual fan in Atlanta, Dallas, Los Angeles, and Chicago to pause the channel surfing and watch...

In the MWC, Boise St. will continue to provide the AAC stiff competition for the NY6 bid.

One of the best ways for the AAC to improve its TV deal and likelihood to grab the annual NY6 bowl is to add Boise St.

It just doesn't make sense. There is no connection out there and other than having similar football goals there is little in common. A mwc champ will become less and less relevant if any current schools leave the mwc. Boise would be the for sure death, but others would hurt, mostly because there is no one else out there to pull in. Unlv and vegas would really hurt, breaking up any of the front range will to. Having been in a conference out west there is little pull for teams east of the rockies. BYU is the only real gem out there, but we have to build a bridge through new mexico/colorado to make it work for both sides.

I would rather look east. I still say Dayton and VCU should be default adds. Add BYU and army with notre dame like scheduling deals and options for top bowls if they are 8+ wins and possible bowl bids if not. Army only plays teams in the east and BYU only in the west. Maybe sweeten the bowl possibilities and a bit of extra cash to bring in Army/Navy game for next negotiations as AAC property.

Army gets schedule filling with out giving up anything, better bowls and a lil cut for handing over the navy/army game.

Byu gets to play in texas and help recruiting, have a solid group of schools to pull from to help fill schedules, and more bowl options.

I have nothing against Boise St. or Idaho..But...

I don't get the East Coast love for them. Boise has been real good for a while now and had a couple of real good wins plus a Cartel Bowl or two. They have not been dominating in the last 4 years. I think the Aztecs have beat them 4 out the last 6?

Don't get me wrong, they are still good but how long? When they start dropping (for instance, there is no way they should be in the Top 25 in the pre season poll), what will Boise bring the conf? Who will follow Boise State when they are losers? Who will want to visit Boise when they BSU are losers?

A small city, with no surrounding areas of population. A minimal amount of TV's. A snowy freezing destination with no fan travel appeal. And Idaho. A state that has no people and care more about hunting than football. Add to that a Stadium that seats about 30,000 which don't sell out?

In the West...IMO...

I love San Diego. No home and home between SMU and SDSU. We play there every year. Sign it up.
