Who cares. It’s all water under the bridge now.

Exit fees will make that very difficult for the PAC2 to pick and choose who they want. Geography also plays a part. IMO I think we’ll see a complete merger of the PAC2 and all MWC teams.

Having watched what’s transpired over the last five years, nothing would surprise me anymore.

Speaking of elite pitchers Canady of Stanford has them in the final four of the WCWS last night after beating UCLA. That girl is a workhorse having pitched in more than 80% of their games. Without her Stanford would have been middle of the pack in the PAC this year. Like they say good pitching always beats good hitting. Canady gives Stanford an outside shot at winning it all, but the other three also have elite pitching and hitting on top of that which Stanford doesn’t have. Boise State needs to find pitchers that aren’t necessarily elite, but good enough to shut down MWC teams.

Watching games at the WCWS the pitchers are much better than any in the MWC. Much better velocity. Tough to get those type of pitchers in the MWC unless you pay them more than they can get at the elite schools.

It sounds like one of those “personal issues“ only the AD and president know about and dont want to make public.

MWC women softball players actually get NIL money?

MWC teams don’t seem to stack up well against the Top 25 of women’s softball. You would think being in the warmer west, where there are a ton of good players, the MWC would have better teams, but I think a lot of the better California and Arizona players either go to PAC schools, or go back east. Im always surprised when I watch SEC teams how many girls are from California.

I’m not a huge softball fan, but it appears if Boise State or any MWC team for that matter wants to do anything on the national stage they’ve got to get much better pitching. Caudill was pretty good for the Broncos this year but also got shelled several times. Their projected pitching next year with ERAs greater than 5 looks terrible.

You’re an electrical engineer. I’m shocked.

It wouldn’t

This could backfire on the US if he names high level officials for nefarious activities during his trial.

FIFY

Where did all these new/old guys come from? I don’t recognize over half the names.
