A blurb in this morning's SLTRIB said a tentative plan for the new college football post season calls for a PAC-12 or BIG 12 team to face the best team from a group of five conferences, including the Big East.
That would mean the PAC-12 or BIG-12 would play the top rated champion from the conferences of the BE, MW, Conference USA, Sun Belt and Mid-American Conference.
If I understand the ramifications, first I see the suits lumping the new BE in with the rest of the have-nots and yes, the MW would essentially be on the same playing field for playoff consideration. Watching Louisiana-Monroe the other night, it would be dangerous to assume the new BE would be the dominate conference in this scenario.

The TV money and exposure is the reason for the BE move.

I know right - we should just in the MWC and hope our state funding doesnt dry up - I mean, what are the odds of that happening.

The beauty of being a 'retired Aztec' is, sooner or later you'll have to start strapping on a pair of Depends in the morning, at which point by default you'll stop crapping all over the move to the BE.

The persistent complaints about moving to the BE are really old and tired. If SDSU gets just $4M from the TV deal, I'll join in the complaints. However, if it's twice that amount, the complaints need to cease since moving there will save our football program even if it continues to flounder.
Yeah, I'm really frustrated but I remain optimistic we will actually become consistently good someday.

Go ahead post all of the negative propaganda you want, If we get 6mil a year or more its worth it. We need our football program to survive. Everything else is a moot point if that doesn't happen. Grasshopper, the time for acceptance is now.

It's crazy that retiredaztec and I can be fans of the same team and school and I literally never agree with him on anything.

lollll this whole thing just keeps gets better. (/sarcastaball) We could always wait for football to fold, get other sports kicked out of the MWC for the same reason we are now, and be in the Big West in a few years. The athletic department wouldn't have the needed tv revenue from football so you could say goodbye to quality coaches. No football + minimal income + BWC + lower tier hoops coaches = sign me up! ..Sent from my Samsung GS3..

His schtick is this. He retired to a burb of SLC expecting to be able to drive to see the Aztecs play Utah there and BYU in Provostan and to have a short flight to see them play the three front range schools and UNR. Then Utah and BYU messed him up by bailing on the Molehill West and SDSU further screwed him up by leaving the conference entirely. So except for Boise, which he also expected to be in the MWC with us, we won't be in a conference with any school within an hour flight. Sucks for him but that's the way the ball bounces.

I know you kids are having fun with this. I have to admit it is fun rattling your cages but the reality is, regardless of where any school plays, I have the ability to see them whenever and wherever I want. What you people can't seem to want to discuss is what impact this move will have on the program as it relates to wins. The program did nothing in the WAC, did virtually nothing in the MW and now all you rocket scientists are looking at this next move as the second coming. For the sake of those on this board, I sincerely hope you are right.

But I have to admit, after years of flying from all parts of the country to see the Aztecs mostly lose, I can't say that the days of going out of my way to see Aztec football is going to be high on my radar. I'll always have better things to do. Early retirement is pretty f*cking cool!

I guess it is hard to understand why you are interested in taking peanuts and being mediocre in the MW or being paid and being mediocre in the BE. Seems to me, if you are going to be medicore, take the check as well.
