That's a feature, not a flaw
In the estimation of the SEC/B1G/ESPN/ABC overlords.

Does BSU even have anything else that would justify adding them?

We’re in so don’t care. But they really should have added BYU and Louisville in 2012. Idiots.

It may not matter if it delves into two superconferences. SEC and B1G

Too many teams get left out in that scenario.

You expect this to be fair?

The P12, ACC and B12?

Not any of the teams that 'matter' in those conferences

We aren’t even P5 yet and you are looking down your nose?

There's been a pretty big difference between BYU and those two teams for decades

BSU twice?

No - two separate reports. WSJ is Wall Street Journal’s rankings and the first comes from another source

365 Sports believes by adding these two teams, it erases the only two viable G5 schools from the expansion board

I honestly felt it should have been BSU rather than Houston. I'd still welcome
Schrodizzy
5/18/22 10:01am
Houston was a WAY more solid addition than Boise State.
HiLife
5/18/22 10:23am
Disagree on Boise > Houston but agree that Boise + Memphis will eventually be added
krindorr
5/18/22 12:39pm
It's my opinion that it'll be just those two. If we add anymore beyond that then
Schrodizzy
5/18/22 1:38pm
That seems reasonable

Not smoke, just an influx of alumni funds since they narrowly missed out

5/18/22 12:05pm
Narrowly? I very much doubt that. Probably the first two out but I don’t think
Soy Celeste

Agreed. Most likely first two out, but they probably feel like they were close

Sounds like the Big 12 is on the same track that killed Big East football.

I don't think that's really the concern

Still adds fuel to the thought that the B12 is not a P5 conference

I don't mind adding more teams. I just don't think BSU adds anything or has the

That's the real question - who to consider (given that no P5 is currently realistically on the table)

I like UNLV more for potential than for what they've done in the past.

Don’t expect any movement until the TV deal is being negotiated. Big12 is still eying PAC 10 1/2 schools
