Boise State withdrew from the Mountain West late Saturday night, barely beating the league’s deadline and ending months of speculation about the Broncos’ conference future.

Now the focus shifts to getting BYU and/or Air Force.

If you can pull BYU in the TV deal gets astronomically better. But BYU has its own lucrative TV deal and working around that could prove to be to much. The thing that will get them to jump is the notion that they will never qualify for a playoff being indy. They aren't Notre Dame and won't get the absurd ND treatment.

Not to mention the perception of the conference would get a significant boost. Right now the Big East isn't trailing the ACC by much. Ultimately I think the BYU could draw us even or even give us the bump ahead of them.
