Andy Kratz on the air...

...within the past hour, he has learned or reconfirmed that:

1. The BE will not dissolve.

2. SDSU just reconfirmed its commitment to remain in the BE.

3. The NCAA will give the FB schools a BB AQ bid.

So we can form a new national All-sports league and have a basketball auto-bid. Hmmm, forget Navy, add teams to the west to keep Boise st. and SDSU and improve basketball to a 4-6 bid league, football remains the best of the rest. Move forward with tv contract deal and should become far and away the best paid conference out side of the power5. 4-6 million a year per school from tv, add bowl money, newly earned NCAA bb credits (as we go), BCS money, any other revenue and we could be looking at 6-8 million a year per school.
