Nah.  They essentially forced the WCC to give them a sweetheart deal.  Absent of that, they would have come. 

I don't hold it against them and would guess the door is always open for them to join us. 

They may be here at some point anyway; that conference doesn't have the upside that we do, and they know it.

Gonzaga played the MWC for fools, and turned the WCC into their very own whore concubines… And are now laughing all the way to the bank! That is all.

So you're saying they pulled a "Boise"?

Your team is in here because of them so... pick your poison if you wish, but "BSU being here" is a good thing for the MWC. Some folks here think its been a one way street, but the truth is we've used each other. Some teams in the MWC (including my Lobos), would not even have a sniff of national exposure if it weren't for BSU being in the MWC.

Really polite way of saying that Gonzaga used us and we all fell for it hook, line, sinker.

BSU being here in the MWC is a good thing all the way around.  The mistake was in making the concessions to Boise unlimited in time.  All agreements should have an expiration date.

I think Gonzaga was fully expecting to come to the MW, but once the MW would not give them the sweetheart deal the WCC did they felt it was best to stay... for  now.  I think they will eventually come to the MW.

Boise wouldn't have come back without it. Easy to say in hindsight what they should have done, but they had no leverage and had they tried to do that, Boise and SDSU would still be in the American.

There is no way to spin it.

It ACTUALLY IS A 1-WAY STREET.

The MWC paid a kings ransom for a Chris Peterson-less Boise.

In every sense of the imagination, its been a disaster.

The MWC - as a whole - have proceeded to lose to Sunbelt teams OOC since, and got very little return on such a lopsided investment.

If the MWC bent over for a Boise sans Peterson...

Its INEXCUSABLE to ALL OF A SUDDEN draw a line consessions to Gonzaga.

Gonzaga wouldve gotten a bloated Olympic share. So what... its Olympic money.

The real point is, Gonzaga would have potentially put the MWC in position to be considered a "High Major" in basketball. Boise didn't come close to offering a PARADIGM SHIFT in football.

In Gonzaga's case, Thompson shouldve done whatever it took to bring them in and change the discussion surrounding the MWC as a mid major league.

Just that label cripples recruiting.

It was a fatal misjudgment.

Thompson couldve made the MWC the perceived Big Dog of Western basketball. He's an idiot for not closing that deal.

Going into TV discussions, the Gonzaga debocle  hurts

I had heard that the agreement had no ending in time.  If you are right, that is reassuring.

He is wrong. The deal will end if and when espn no longer wants the rights to bsu home games.  At that point everyone loses money. Stunner likes to rile everyone up and never points out that every team in this conference earns more money from tv than they ever have because bsu came back.
