    wow, i know it's still better than playing in the MAC, but 3 football games west of the Mississippi for a football program trying to dig out of the ashes doesn't seem ideal...especially when you consider they'll be sharing a division with perennial top 10 team Boise St and current top 10 caliber Houston. i imagine for other sports the divisions won't matter, but sucks for football...

    I certainly wouldn't characterize Boise St. as a perennial top 10 team.

    top 10 caliber UofH? Please, they've won CUSA *ONCE* since 2002. They had a couple good years but are probably a worse program than ECU/USM and they just lost their coach that gave them their recent good seasons.

    Boise is solid but still won't be playing in a major conference so they'll still hear cries of "they can't do it week in and week out" which is what you need for perennial top 10 status in my book.
