meatloaf Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Air Force is planning to leave the Mountain West and join the Big East as Football only member, and all other sports would move to the Missouri Valley. http://www.denverpost.com/sports/ci_19073868 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORU GRAD Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 I enjoyed the quote that: "Air Force will do whats right for Air Force, even if it means turning our back on our friends" That should be the motivation for ORU. What is right for us at this time. Like someone said (that someone being OT) ..."with ORU it is not about greed but survival." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ORUalum Posted October 9, 2011 Share Posted October 9, 2011 Big East's latest expansion possibility: Boise State for football only One major stumbling block for both schools is finding a conference for their other sports, with the Post reporting that Air Force would try to move its sports from the Mountain West, where Boise is also a member, to the Missouri Valley. Boise would need a similar landing spot for its other sports before it could join the Big East. The Western Athletic Conference could be a possibility for the other sports for Air Force and Boise State as well. "We've had discussions with Air Force about joining in all sports but football,'' WAC commissioner Karl Benson told Boston.com, the Boston Globe's on line home. "And we would certainly be willing to talk to Boise State about the same arrangement." http://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/index.ssf/2011/10/big_easts_newest_expansion_tar.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jupiter2 Posted October 11, 2011 Share Posted October 11, 2011 For MW fans, this is no trickle down effect. It's a full blown Tsunami. First Utah, then Brigham Young, then TCU and now Air Force and possibly Boise State. Lots of good rivalries have been destroyed in the process. I can't blame Air Force but imagine how Wyoming and Colorado State must feel. Greed has killed collegiate sports as we know it. The bible clearly states, it's the love of money which is the root of all evil. Jupiter Out GO LOBOS!! GOD BLESS AMERICA!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
