The way I see it ..... we have just as much in common with the fans in Cincinnati as we do with fans in Laramie or Albuquerque. I get a kick out of posters that talk about 'regional' rivalries. The BE is not without risk but we need to whatever we can to us ratchet ourselves up another level. BE (I hope) Agreed. Is it really a rivalry if only 15,000 people show up at the Q to watch the game? Some rivalry indeed

I voted because I believe right now the BE is still our best option when you look at all the facts ( even with current changes in the BE).
Aresco, has yet to finalize a TV contract, but no matter what has happened to the BE, it is still the BE, and will have a much better TV deal than anything the MW can come up with, and like many have said we will be moving forward.
I believe Aresco is smart, and experienced enough to work something out. If, you panic because of current conditions you only hurt your chances. Give him time, and the benefit of the doubt.

All we need is one more team from the West , to make it happen. Pick from Fresno, UNLV, Nevada, or even all three and there is a Western Division for ALL SPORTS. Sure Yoda will put in a good word or post to make it happen ( after he crunches the payout numbers remaining after the BSU- hold up of the MW piggy bank).

Even if the TV money is the same, the Eastern Media coverage will get us more recognition than the MW.
Boise has national attention. They got it by going undefeated and then a big bowl win. They have that wacky blue thing. However, it can quickly become yesterday's story.
We are in a competition to join a super conference (Pac16 or Big16). We don't have to go undefeated or get lucky. We just need to win the BE championship. <- THIS IS THE GOAL. It will mean more than a MW championship to the media, hence the super conference.
The way we are right now, we do not have to pay an exit fee to the MW like Boise or an exit fee to the BE (no western partner). I like that status... we are ready.
The teams that do not make a super conference will be division II over time.

I think that the MWC TV deal will not make schools like Fresno and UNLV happy and they will be looking for a way out in a year or two. They will jump to the BE. ...and at that point we move all sports to a Western division of the BE. This is the only reason that I voted for the BE option. My fear is that a western division never happens. It is a gamble, but I am hoping that the BE moves quickly so we can escape the BW.

A little humor to lighten the mood.
Brett McMurphy @mcmurphyespn LSU has had 9 players leave early for NFL. Even Big East thinks that's an excessive amount of defections

The UT poll has it almost exactly reversed with 70% wanting to go back to the MWC. The knowledge level of the average voter is almost exactly reversed too.

If EH makes that decision, we will disagree and "Continue to support THE ENTIRE ATHLETIC AND ACADEMIC PROGRAMS". EH made the call to leave and he will make this call, Sterk is one of many who is advising. One thing is certain We are not going to take the Tshirt off and cry in the corner. "You can be a man"

No, because groupthink normally ends in a poor outcome. You know, such as trying to get in to a conference that everyone else is trying to get OUT of. To the detriment of the basketball team I might add!!
