I keep telling you all.. we gotta get strength in numbers.. 20-team league, coast-to-coast.. 4 divisions of 5 teams, with a 4-team playoff at the end.

...

I really like this idea.

the problem is revenue split, not enough to go around. IMO form a 10 team conference...all sports..come up with a championship game with the MWC...9/10 times the winner will go to a BCS bowl

Thats what you don't understand-- you are thinking too short term. of course with the current contract intact, there isnt enough money to go around. but what do we do, just stand here and keep taking it in the behind?!

my restructuring and creating of a coast-to-coast conference would be set up to create excitement across media markets across america for FUTURE television contracts. we can't think about NOW, now we are screwed. we gotta restructure for the future.

thinking about now is like obama plugging a leaky fiscal boat with a bunch of chewing gum.. i say, screw now/this boat-- let it sink. let's start launching the safety boats, cut our losses, and reinvent ourselves

You all do realize that nobody who matters is going to take any of your guys' crazy scenarios right? This is just one of many more dominos to fall. USF is doing what they can but in this world of uncertainty I guess you have to post these things to give you hope or peace of mind.

Let's get it all out before the New year... lets hope for good news in 2013!!

Boise will fall back into irrelevance shortly, they were never going to "SAVE" the NBE anyway...

I plan on making a giant version of this for when Big East play starts for basketball.

Woolard is the silent type. I get it.

But he needs to issue a written statement at this point

Even if he doesn't know crap and nobody takes his calls, he needs to fess up. . . . our conference is ravaged, our football schedule appears trashed, our basketball schedule appears trashed, we just financed a bunch of athletics construction projects and our revenue streams (tv and bcs) look to be eliminated.

Time to tell the boosters and fans what he knows.

I am surprised it took Boise this long to come out with this.

New conference. Start with a base of Florida schools. USF, UCF, FIU, FAU, then add 6 teams located in the SE. Limit travel expenses for the teams and fans, create some out of close proximity rivalries.

SEC lite. Wouldn't be terrible. And if we dominated it, we'd be in line for promotion when the next slot opens up at the adults table...

Best to make it a 9-team all-sports league. 4-home, 4-away, 4-ooc in football, 16-game conference schedule in bball, similar for the olympic sports.

I could go for this.

I'd go with 10 teams, only having to sched 3 ooc games .... With whatever schedule will work for hoops. Not as critical with conference tourney.

That would be terrible.
