Rumors put Boise State in Mountain West

by JazzyUte on Jun 2, 2010 1:41 PM MDT in Football

But do these rumors even matter to Utah? This is going to be a fun summer, folks. I don't know if the Utes are about to depart for the P-10 or if the Broncos will relocate to the Mountain West. What I do know is that if either happens, Utah will be facing a far more difficult 2011 schedule than many of us envisioned this time last year.

So, what expansion scenario is most likely to happen? Do you think the Utes will be in the Boise State-added Mountain West in 2011 or playing in the newly formed Pac-Twelve with Colorado?

That's the burning question. IF expansion is going to happen for either conference, I think we'll know soon enough. In fact, I'd expect the Broncos' inclusion to be announced by no later than next week (the 7th rumors have it). If that's the case, we'll know what we're potentially losing if and when P-10 expansion news happens later this summer.

What do you think?

I think we stay with boise state in.

so far the colarado media and salt lake media have said it. i live in lake tahoe and we get both the reno and sacremento news here. they both said it’s a done deal. reno is wac country and cali is pac-ten country. it will happen on monday. i want to stay and prove in just two years we are better than the pac-ten. 13-11 in last two years plus if you have boise 2 wins over oregon that is 15 -11. plus the hammer falls on usc manana. everything coming up roses for the MWC.

Wasn't Boise already on the 2011 schedule?

So adding Boise as a conference game may mean the schedule gets easier, because we might lose a game against another tough team like TCU, AFA, Wyoming, etc. and gain a game against a IAA team or a weaker WAC team like Idaho or NMSU.
