They agreed to inviting two last year. And JMU or EKU or LU are all closer than Idaho to even the majority of the west schools.

That was because both App and GSU were replacing the Florida Schools...and frankly you guys make more sense than both teams.

Keep in mind the ultimate goal is go have 12 football playing schools, with no football only members. To do that, something has to be done about our two football only members. That means bringing in a West school at some point.

I agree with that. But why go to 13 now unless NMSU or IDAHO are getting their walking papers imminently? Who else is going to grab up Mo State or SHSU or (insert your favorite west option)?

Missouri State is one of those schools that has always been on our radar, and never willing to leave the MVC. If we've got them willing to leave the MVC now, we better take them because there is no guarantee they will be available later.

The rest? I agree with you.

I going to read between the lines of that one and hope you know something I don't about MSU. If that's true I would be all over MSU and bye bye Idaho for travel reasons. Add JMU as rumored and then Bam 12 going forward with no conference raids currently expected.
