I hope AFA doesn't do that.

I'm a little leery of Navy doing this, but we'll see.
You got it wrong. It's CSU that's headed to the Big East.
Like the Caserole Conference?

When I think of the word mountain(s), I think of grandiose and beautiful. Then there's the MWC -- irrelevant in the landscape of college football. What a waste of a good word.

Still sounds like AFA is staying put which is the right move. I have serious doubts the "New Big East" is even around by 2015. Once Louisville bolts for the Big12 and the ACC or the BIG snag Rutgers and/or UConn, the Big East is done.

I have also read that if/when AQ status is eliminated for all conferences, both Boise State and SDSU will have an opporunity to reconsider their moves. If I were an SDSU fan right now I would be livid and would be praying that, in fact, happens. You have a basketball program that is reaching heights it has never reached before and the administration is about to tube your entire program by sticking it in the Big West?
It makes no sense, especially when you consider Boise State and SDSU are expecting somewhere in the range of $6-7MM year in a new tv deal, but will also have to pay a $2.5MM entrance fee and a $5MM MWC exit fee. So at the end of the day, those schools are preparing to shell out $7.5MM to enter a highly unstable conference with likely no AQ status and at the expense of their other olympic sports. That looks like a recipe for disaster to me and is not a situation I would want to see AFA (or CSU for that matter) touch with a 10 foot pole.
