"San Diego State Athletic Director Jim Sterk... said Utah State of the WAC... wasn’t offered membership.



“I know there was no letter of offer to them...” Sterk said."

Didnt THompson acknowledge that an offer was made to USU?

As far as I'm concerned Sterk could be as full of crap as anyone.

All that has been confirmed is that the MWC approached USU. No proof thus far that there was an actual invite. With all the email stuff that has come out, you'd think there would be something on this too.

The SDSU guy is being cute--of course there was no "letter" of offer...that does not mean that there were verbal indications of an invite....

USU is the first school that was verbally offered membership in the MWC.

Why would you send a letter of offer to some one who's already told you "No Thanks."



It would be like asking the girl to the prom who gave you the finger when you tested the waters earlier.

This is starting to sound like a "...depends on what your definition of "is" is..." situation.

At this point, I have more trust in the Aggies up north than any of our conference mates who think we are just too smug and arrogant when really they are just scared of getting left in the dust. Freaking parasites aren't going to drag us down any longer.

Nope. The only people claiming that are USU. Everyone else is rolling their eyes.

On KSL last Saturday night, the USU AD made a specific point of saying they did not receive an offer, only an expression of interest which they declined. I was a little surprised at how adamant he was that they had not received an offer. Makes me wonder if they couldn't accept another offer from the MWC if they already had received on and turned it down.

Thank you. I knew what I had written didn't make much sense. :blush:

Only way USU gets an invite is if BYU is leaving. Otherwise, do not see it. If BYU was staying, Houston gets it. So if this is true, BYU is going Indy. An I still think they are. Indy in football is happening. Just looking for a soft place to land the other sports. I think the MWC and the MTN have burned the bridge back down, to their own detriment.
