Boise State to stay in Mountain West Conference http://bit.ly/WWtxry By Jaclyn Brandt ESPN is reporting that Boise State has decided not to join the Big East conference and will stay with the Mountain West. 根據ESPN的報導：Boise State決定不加入Big East，繼續留在Mountain West。 "The Broncos' decision on Monday is the latest crippling blow to the Big East Conference, which has had 14 schools announce they were leaving the league in the past two years," said Brett McMurphy with ESPN. "The Broncos will remain a Mountain West member in all sports instead of joining the Big East next year as a football-only member and the Big West in all other sports." ESPN記者Brett McMurphy指出：「Boise State今天的舉動，無疑代表著Big East近期 又一次低潮，因為這聯盟已經在兩年內流失了高達14所學校。波大將會把所有的運動 項目放在MWC繼續運作，而不會採用先前『在Big East打美足，在Big West競爭其他 運動』的方案。」 Even though Boise State never played in the Big East, it is reported they will still have to pay the $10 million exit fee. McMurphy said that the MWC is expected to help with the fee. 儘管波大從未正式加入Big East，但校方仍須繳1千萬美金的離開賠償費給BE。不過 McMurphy的報導，也指出MWC會協助波大支付賠償金。 McMurphy and ESPN did not disclose their sources. McMurphy與ESPN都不願意透露消息的來源。 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 心得：這無疑是Big East繼Rutgers出走後，近期又一個重大挫敗， Big East未來的命運，就連美國也有不少網友並不看好 http://es.pn/WbnzAE Will the Big East exist in some form as a football conference in 2014? 25% Yes，75% No 當然，波大的動向也難免讓人想到影響各聯盟財務的電視轉播金分配問題 Sources: TV rights key to Boise State's move http://es.pn/WbnzAE --
