I have heard:

Solid no:
Navy (would rather have AF)

Solid yes:
UCF?

I suspect that nobody on these boards knows for sure, but would be willing to bet that regardless of what happens, if an official vote is taken, it would be a unanimous yes.

There's been lots of speculation among AAC fans that Boise State's decision to pull out of their agreement to join the Big East in 2012:

burned bridges with those schools, making such a scenario impossible. However, I think most of the animosity toward Boise State was rooted in their president at the time, Bob Kustra, who has since retired. At least as far as USF is concerned, we have a new president and a new AD since the end of 2012, so I'd be shocked if there were any lingering hard feelings. We do know that Boise has agreed to football series with USF, UCF, Houston, ECU and Cincinnati

so I don't suspect that is an issue. Despite Aresco saying he's not going to call any schools, I have to think that there are some conversations being had in administration and athletic offices (and, I'd bet, in Bristol, CT) around the country, though, about gauging interest and mapping out potential scenarios...

Yeah I suspect this has been brewing for some time. Boise has been making those scheduling commitments and ramping recruiting in Texas. I don’t think anyone in the MWC cares if they move so we shall see.
