I'm OK with that. Always enjoy playing both schools. But I'm more interested in where your Mountaineers are gonna be playing.

OK.
I am too to be honest. We can safely say that the BE will never take a BCS team now SU and Pitt left and will never get ND, Supposedly ECU and Temple will be joining as full members and UCF is off the board as the BE schools do not want team in the states they are currently in.
As for what WVU UoL ect will do is up in the Air. WVU wants to remain in a BCS league and I know that TCU is also looking at options, IF either schools decides to go else were BE will lose its BCS status and might anyways.

Glad thats over. So, add Temple and ECU and we'll call it a day! Hey B12! Good luck with Texas.

AFA could go Missouri Valley Conf in other sports. However, I don't think this makes a lot of sense for them. They've got a pretty good situation right now with the exception of the money and I don't think more money is going to make a huge difference in their sport program. However, when the BE eventually disintegrates, I suppose they will always be able to go back.

If the WAC marches on with FBS football, don't NCAA rules prevent AFA joining them if AFA plays football in the Big East?
If so, it'd have to be something like the Big West, MVC or WCC, I guess.
Lots of nasty details to deal with before AFA joins the BE, either as a football-only or an all-sports (not competitive in basketball; bad travel scene for non-football programs).

Does the WCC have any public universities?
Then again, Air Force is a very good academic university with considerably better academics than TCU.

As long as we don't lose anyone else that might be ok but every team in the league is looking to bail given the first opportunity so I wouldn't sign a long term lease if I were AFA.

If I'm AFA I'm staying right where I am.

They can always go back. At this point I think they have to take the chance. MWC isn't going anywhere.
