Around SBN: Why Hockey Fans Should Root For Devils Vs. Kings

Broncos might still be headed East for 2012

http://tinyurl.com/79g6dlk

This would pretty much be the answer to all my prayers, but I wonder what can be done with the other sports? Will the BE have us? They'd be down to what, 7 FB playing members in 2012 after the WVU departure and they've been courting us to join next year already. It just makes sense.

But of course, we've got issues with the new alliance forming and 18-24 team league. In the worst case scenario it seems the WAC might get raided and leave our Olympic sports shivering in the cold... The Big West Conference doesn't seem plausible and I don't think we're heading to the West Coast conference... So what are we to do?

I think at this point, I'd definatly be on board with joining the BE as a full member... If we can get our MWC exit fees taken care of...

What do you guys think?

I dunno. My guess is that the non joining of all sports was just as much our decision as anyone else's.

The travel costs become too much of a concern. I do think the leadership of this school has a very good track record. What they have been able to accomplish thus far, in a very hostile market, is pretty amazing.

I agree

They should move to a full membership in the Big East’s Western Conference. This will limit travel expense. Also getting AF on board as a full member, and SDSU as full member will help this Western Conference :)

That would be nice, but at current it would give the BE 20 BB schools. That's a lot. More if they add more schools.

Unless the BB-only schools break away this won’t happen. Cinci, UConn, UL don’t want to travel to San Diego and Boise. Well, maybe SoCal, but not Idaho
