(Posted on 1/5/10 at 7:53 a.m. to Muahahaha) interesting stuff, I don't think I'd ever heard Texas mentioned before, but then I hadn't paid too much attention to the whole thing. always figured it'd be ND, Pitt, or Syracuse.

But several rejections from ND, I think most are ready to move on to someone else now..like Missouri, Texas, Nebraska, etc. This post was edited on 1/5 at 8:33 a.m.

(Posted on 1/5/10 at 8:40 a.m. to SlowFlowPro) I can't see how it works geographically at all. It would be like a 3 hour flight each way for them...I can't see how it wouldn't cost a fortune to ship their women's basketball team up here 15 times a year. Not to mention crap like a synchronized swimming team, pistol team, etc. In football it's not as bad, but damn it'd be rough in every other sport. They'd own the shite out of Big10 baseball

Do you mean it would not hurt them with a loss? BTW they are 4-1 last 5 v. OU.

No doubt OSU would not want it's annual schedule that requires playing 2 serious opponents disrupted. We understand. But from a national attention perspective, BSU would be a home run and would probably dominate the western division of the current Little 10+1.

Boise can play football...great...we need an all around athletic program to join. Not to mention academically, alumni base, TV market, etc. Boise brings nothing to the table.
