I think he said what most of us have discussed at some point before, with going to a 12-team, 2-division conference. It wasn't too bad today, and I don't think he insulted too many people this time.

No doubt he is getting smarter because of BN. :D

I really liked this article, except for the north-South designation :lol: I'd prefer east-west :lol: And yes, he did touch on an all too obvious point--SAC is outta here as soon as their upgrades are complete just as Boise and Nevada were. And again, I think Idaho will pour money into both ISU and Idaho to make them competitive at the mid-major level eventually.

I thought Jeff's column made a lot of sense. It would make the conference much stronger and a lot more exciting. ND ST and SD ST belong in the Big Sky!! Breaking it into two divisions would not be a burden on travel forthe west coast teams. I hope Doug Fullerton reads it!
