The MWC will pay $3 million of the $5 million Boise owes the Big East

Boise has also talked Hair into letting them wear their all-blues for home games. And the conference has promised to invite SDSU before it extends any other invitations.

Here's a pretty detailed rundown of everything the Broncos got. They won a few prizes as a result of "leaving:"

Well played.

Of course, at the time Boise signed they couldn't have known that the Big East was going to be quickly eroded into a worthless nub. The MWC gets it's National Brand product back and all is well in the West once again. All has come up roses for Craig Thompson...

I wonder how long until the MWC gets to re-negotiate its TV deals..?

Good for them.

Being in a Conf USA look alike is not in the best interest of their fans, players, players families, coaches. Now they don't need an airplane to attend an away game.

The sooner other schools / conferences realize this the better.

And BSU gets TCU as a home game...

Oooh... That still feels good to remember. The Football Gods were sated that day...

The ability of the MWC to in essence auction off their games is a very, very nice move for them! I hope it pays off.
