Ok...I have waited long enough and no one else wants to bring it up...How about the big rumor of the football team only going to the Big East? Talk about a money grab. Or is AF taking advantage of filling the vacuum of a rapidly evaporating Big East which has an automatic BCS bowl bid.
USAFA is a founding member of the Mountain West but if Navy says they are going, AF is following along with Boise State. Wouldn't the Big 12 make more sense? Would that make them Big East, West? What would that mean for the "Olympic" sports? Such a move would make it easy to step down to a lower echelon conference where the non-football teams would be better suited. Maybe Big Sky or WAC as the Mountain West is just too strong for the AF's other sports. Navy and Army have the right idea by playing in the Patriot league which is better aligned with the talent they can recruit.
Just a little different subject while everyone is waiting for their LOA's!
