The Aztecs should also talk to the Big West about that 14 game schedule. Aztecs should tell the Big West they are trying to decide which situation is best and want to confirm that a 16 game schedule will be imposed upon the Aztecs. The difference between a 14 game and 16 game schedule is huge in ratings. Best for the Aztecs is if Big West schools play 18 games in conference and the Aztecs only play 14.

I'm sure Fisher at the very least, has been burning a hole in the ears of Sterk & Hirshman on that (14 vs. 16 game BW conf. schedule.)

These reasons are enough for me. First, he made one of the worst football HC hires in the history of man. Chuck Long was bad enough but Locksley makes Chuck's hiring look benign. Then Krebs screwed up the investigation of Locksley's alleged punching of an assistant, making himself and the university look even more foolish. Then there was the press release a couple years ago which was ostensibly about UNM having won the MWC Director's Cup championship or some such thing but which Krebs turned into an ass-kissing monument to his favorite coach, Steve Alford, for hosting UNLV that night or some such minimally significant matter. (monty, who has a memory like an elephant, can fill in the specifics if you don't know what I'm talking about but we Aztecs thought the brown nosing nature of the press release was a total joke.) Most recently, Krebs has been the figurehead for MWC board criticism of SDSU. Although Krebs does not appear to have dissed SDSU directly, he has certainly tacitly done so. I might understand if SDSU had done something to the guy personally but although Sterk and Rocky have made comments to the extent a return to the MWC would be a step backward, neither has said anything like the reason is because SDSU would continue to be stuck in the same conference with UNM.

I'm also thinking of how SDSU'd best interest is also conducive to the BW's when considering the Aztecs playing a 14 vs. 16 game conference schedule.
Boise St.'s best interest, God bless 'em for prevailing, serves ONLY their best interest which has already been discussed ad nauseam.
This accommodation would help vs. hinder, IMO. Think about that, Mr. Big West Commish. *************
Oops. Have to add that I am still pro-nBE

That 14 game conference schedule for the Aztecs should have been inked into the BW contract - not just discussed and "maybe" promised.

Dan Wolken tweet: "Here in Key Biscayne, Big East commissioner Mike Aresco said he's unsure of SDSU decision but Texas schools are firmly committed ."

so if we go back to the MW , do we give 50% of the money for the Ohio State game to BSU , MW or ? . Will the Aztecs need to schedule 1 "money game" each year in football , to make any money call it our "Money Bowl"

Has it always been the situation , that SDSU first agree to submit our application to go back to the MW on "their terms" then the Aztecs will need 75% of the current schools to vote thumbs up or we are out.

Risk of going to the nBE is way to high. I am strongly in favor of returning to the MWC. Nonsense. The Big East has better teams with alot more money. Hey namssa, with the MGC blowing their wad on Boise State where do you think the money is coming from to give us an attractive package? There will be no attractive package, but instead we will have to pay part of Boise's exit fee from the BE just so we can have the priviledge to watch them suck up most of the revenue in the MGC. Do you really think our football program will survive on $600,000-$800,000 per year once the superconferences are in place around 2015? If this happens you have just issued a death sentence for our Division 1A football program. Are you happy about that, because you sure seem to be. You will be stuck in this steaming pile of cow manure with no hope of ever being invited to one of those five superconferences. If this is not bad enough, are we really going to bend over for the MGC who insist we come back "on their terms only". Really?!?! Are you friggin' kidding me? What in the world is wrong with our AD? We have the leverage, and not the MGC. I agree with JYP. If this all comes down as described we have one pathetic AD, unlike what most of you have said. Very dissapointed and saddened by all this....SDSU Division 1A Football R.I.P.

All other sports actually benefit from the move. A move BACK to the MWC quicksand, which I'd hoped we were crawling out of, will send us back on a path to irrelevance. The BE will give us a chance. The MWC will disintegrate that hope and attendance will drop closer to San Jose State levels.

At this point isn't the risk associated with the BE/BW a little too much? Originally the $ made it an easy choice, but now not sure. You have to look at it as if a year ago we were planning to join CUSA for football and BW for all others, almost everyone would have said no way, stay in MWC. We have to take risks at this point if we are to survive as a Division 1A football prgram. The 64 team, five superconferences, are coming, and most likely around 2015. Those who are one of the 64 teams will survive, and those who are not will either have to drop to Division1AA or completely eliminate their football program. Those who do will find out that alot of their alumni financial support will go away too....just ask Long Beach State what happened when they dropped football. We have a better chance positioning ourselves to get invited to the Big12 or maybe the Pac12 with the BE than the MGC. I don't know if you are just a basketball fan who is giddy the basketball program is going back to the MGC and quite honestly could care less about the football program. However, if you do care about the football program the BE is the only option for survival of that football program. To think otherwise is just being naive. Getting $600,000 in crumbs from the MGC will not save our football program. Sterk has not only guaranteed the enventual end of Division 1A football at SDSU by this move but he has also just guaranteed smaller crowds at football games while we still have Division 1A football. Who would you rather go see....Cincinnati, Houston, SMU,etc. or Boise State, Utah State, San Jose State, Wyoming, Colorado State, etc.?
