Look at the crazy ass suggestions that a school drop women's volleyball. Are you really going to turn down a top football program because your don't want your women's volleyball teams to have to fly to Boise, Idaho?

You get right down to it, that is the entire sticking point. Who looks ridiculously inflexible when you look at the details? The money of the travel can even be offset by a small contribution from ESPN who want Boise State football in the American anyway.

Not really. I suspect there are any number of compromises that the AAC would probably be willing to make for BYU---Boise too. But just like the the party receiving the offer---the compromises have to make sense for the AAC as well.

Yes, if the reports we are getting are true, I think the AAC has been very reasonable in its interactions with Boise. Boise wants all sports, we don't, and for a good reason. The AAC has the right to look out for its own interests, it isn't forcing anything on anyone else.

AAC could treat Boise like the Hawaii of the MWC/Big West in both scheduling and travel subsidies
