The title is very misleading. BSU being in for 2012 isn't 'tentative', it is purely speculation by a sports writer. And speculation by some schlub means diddly squat to me.
Please be more considerate with your wording next time.
I do like the numbers of WVU's exit fee which seem to have foundation. So I will give you props on that."Lets do 10 shots of Jose before the EKU game!!!!"

Boise has reached out and been granted permission to move all other sports to WAC. They have started the process of moving.
Big East would not have settled without a plan of who was replacing WVU. Expect Boise.

While BSU to the BE in 2012 would solve our scheduling problems, it wouldn't do much for the MWC at this late date. They'd now be thrust into the same situation we thought we'd have to endure, only worse. The scheduling deadline is well beyond normal and there aren't that many schools out West. They'd all have to try to find FCS foes from farther away.
I realize that that isn't our problem, but it's a potential sticking point, if the WMC balks. BSU didn't exactly hang around long enough in that conference to develop many friendships. They beat everyone up in football for a season, then bolt.

WVU, Big East reach conditional settlement - from the Charleston Daily Mail
"Sources told the Daily Mail Wednesday WVU was nearly finished negotiating an agreement in which the university would pay a "cash settlement" of $11 million to complete its exit from the Big East to the Big 12 Conference this year.
On Thursday, a source close to the negotiations said the additional $9 million would come in the form of contributions from other Big 12 member schools.
WVU's $11 million payment would cover three things: The Big East's $5 million exit fee, Boise State's $5 million buyout fee, and $1 million to match what each Big 12 school is paying. That would raise the total value of the settlement to $20 million. "UC MBA '08

Can you show me a link where any source within Boise mentioned playing football in the Big East in 2012? I can show you one that states the opposite.
Anything other than a source tied to Boise stating that the Broncos will (atleast possibly) play in the Big East in 2012 is speculation. That is what this is. Speculation."Lets do 10 shots of Jose before the EKU game!!!!"

If I was in charge, I'd change the schedules to make sure that Pitt and Syracuse get 4 away games this year, including a trip to Boise.UC MBA '08

Originally posted by CaptainProbasco View PostI agree. But if Boise is just filling in for WVU, they might just get WVU's schedule. Which would mean visits from Syracuse, Rutgers, USF, and UC.

Buh bye. Don't let the door hit ya where the good lord split ya!
I will however miss all the couch burnin' talk. I guess we'll have to look to our neighbors to the south in Lexington for that kind of entertainment now.RIP #12 Greg Cook (1946-2012)
