MWC's best play is to keep Boise, try to get BYU back. They do this, and they are solidly the #6 conference.
It makes sense that they have stayed at 10 to see how things shake out.

Boise/SDSU isn't that big a deal financially - 3-4 games in the Central/Eastern Time zones. Also, they have to get on a plane to travel to almost every MWC/WAC opponent. TRavel to Philly or Tampa may not cost any more than travel to Loa Alamos or Laramie, considering the travel is to big Eastern Cities with better Airports. IMO, the travel costs will be a wash.
