Remaining Great West schools

[PSUVikings2]

So were do the other(Cal Poly, UC Davis, and Southern Utah) Great West schools go, should the BSC pick them up? have 12 teams? have an east and west divison?

West
Portland State
Northern Arizona
Sacramento State
Cal Poly
UC Davis
Eastern Washington

East
Montana
Montana State
Weber State
Idaho State
Northern Colorado
Southern Utah

It would make sense. Of course, just for that reason alone, it won't happen.

Still jaded by whatever Big Sky school representative (suspect an in-state rival) used Southern Utah and "over my dead body" in the same sentence. There's a prevailing thought that SUU doesn't quite have the academic standards Big Sky schools prefer.

That's probably important. Consider that Boise State is likely on the lower end of the WAC scale, hence doesn't have to have smarter recruits, and things kind of dovetail from there. I trust you get where I'm getting at.

I don't see this taking place, mostly because the Big Sky would want these schools for all sports, not just football. For basketball and everything else, UC Davis and Cal Poly are better off sticking in the Big West with their fellow UC and Cal State schools, so they're probably more likely to just become independents in football.

I concur with this. I think that 2008 will find those schools as independents.
