Their style coach change now that Ault has retired.

There is zero television interest in Boise along the Eastern seaboard. What it tells me is the Mountain West was desperate. Clearly, the Mountain West was willing to make whatever concessions necessary to keep Boise in the fold.â€

I don't know about the rest of the eastern seabord, but for me the zero TV interest comes from staring at that eye sore of a field. I can make it maybe half a quarter and then I am browsing around

The deal they gave Boise will poison the well for other programs

Agreed. i think the MWC has now put themselves in a very weak bargaining position. Why would any school go to the MWC unless they got the same deal that Boise State is getting. They would be stupid to unless it is their last resort.

I still think in the long run, once the dust settles (and it may even get a little uglier before it gets brighter) that Boise State going back to MWC is going to end up a disaster financially for them and the conference.

Can they give BYU the same offer, that is the true question.

Everyone calls te deal crap, but a good portion of this board suggested we do the same thing to poach ACC schools this past June.
