Message: [QUOTE="qdawgg, post: 43112, member: 52"] I'm not sure I understand the question. I don't think the plan was to get turned down, the BE is just in panic mode and trying to find teams to join. Every other conference has taken forever just to invite 1 or 2 teams to their conference. There are rumblings forever before it actually happens. The BE just lost SU and Pitt yet in no time at all they have invited a whole bunch of teams. Marinatto just got permission to proceed with expansion, how is it possible that he's already been in contact with these teams and the've agreed to join? I just don't think he has REAL commitments from any or all of these teams. Boise and Air Force are a perfect example of this. We've also heard no rumblings about any of the other schools holding super fast meetings to accept the invitation to the BE. Which implies to me they never truly told Marinatto they were ready to join once they received an invite. [/QUOTE]
