FOX stealing Boise Football and UCONN Men's/Women's Basketball from ESPN is big-time.

Not sure I agree with the word stealing. Yet, It's another wonderfull addition. UConn women host Baylor, Tennessee, Oregon and Team USA. Next year, those are FS1 games. The men's team needs to start winning. Tickets will be harder to get for the Big East Conference Tournament.

The MWC will fill in about 12 windows that were left open on FOX and FS1. You should see about 15 football and basketball games on FS2, with Big 12 football moving to FS2 I would guess with the RSN sales to Disney.

Sounds like there are some major issues with Boise. MWC had said that this would be their last time negotiating a separate deal(something that was done when Boise agreed to come back).

Well Boise said today that "We will not support any change to this provision and are in the process of weighing our options to move forward".

Does the AAC go for the kill shot on the MWC and get Boise back?

Would seem like a stupid move for Boise. Would they do football only? Where do the other sports go like men's basketball. The WCC will not take them. Horrible fit. Big West is a step down. Others bring up the WAC. Good lord.

Would seem like a stupid move for Boise.

If the MWC is trying to take away all their rights they agreed to in 2012 to come back to the MWC?

Especially given now like this year Boise had 1 loss, and had no real shot at making the NY6 game at all.
