Hey, they're coming back in another year if what is in place stays, which is never a given nowadays. Them being Boise State basketball, currently standing 0-7 in Mountain West Conference play.
No, this isn't to bash the breakaway Broncos (who else in the WC would NOT have taken the action they did?) but to indicate what a step (or two or three) up Mountain West Conference basketball is over the WAC. -- or at least as both are currently constituted.
But such a record happens, especially when your last four opponents are UNLV, Wyoming, San Diego State and New Mexico. Plus, be sure to add in that Leon Rice's troops are generally a mix of newcomers and freshmen.
So those still desiring to switch conferences have to be careful with what they are seeking. The dollars might be greener but not necessarily the grass. Other than Nevada (which along with Fresno State is headed MWC way next season), seemingly every other WAC team would be experiencing a below .500 league record this go-around if each had MWC membership.

Remember Boise State?

The New Mexico State Aggies would be just fine in the Conference. We have a victory over New Mexico on the road and the other teams would all be winnable games. I think Boise has lost a couple of games in overtime over the 2 ranked teams so the MW is not that special. The WAC should never let Boise back in. Once a back stabber always a back stabber.
I agree. I don't see why the WAC allowed them back in. I'd be curious to see the contract they signed. Hopefully it's a very large fee for them to jump ship again.
NMSU would not be under 500 in the MWC.
