Morning Links 7/3/12

Well, we had a busy weekend, and for the offseason, it's always nice to have news on hand to give.  That being said, lets get some links going:


ESPN analyzes the impact of conference moves on college basketball
Is this a backhanded compliment by Coach Gib Arnold? "The RPI of the Big West is a step down from the WAC, however the prestige of the league will improve greatly with the entry of San Diego State."  That's funny, I didn't think of the RPI as that much of a step down from the WAC...

Big West wants to vote on Boise State by September
On last night's podcast, Jeremy and I debated about this article.  He thought this was a rushed move, whereas I suggested that the Big West knows exactly where it stands and what Boise State needs to do to get in or stay out.  Everyone's mind is made up, to a point.

If you missed it, here's the recording of last night's podcast on Mountain West Connection
Poor CSU-Bakersfield...

Don't worry Hornets, we didn't forget about you...
If you see a Sac State alumni/student, make sure you also welcome them to the Big West.  They became an associate member for men's soccer on July 1st as well.

Big West sends a few to London
SLO alum Sharon Day, punched her ticket to London by finishing 2nd in the Heptathlon.  Others who are going are: UCD assistant coach, Kim Conley (5000-metre) and Stephanie Brown Trafton (Women's discus).  If you know of any other Big West alumni who made the Olympics, please comment.

NBA Draft: UCSB's Orlando Johnson drafted by Kings
...but traded to the Pacers.  He was selected number 6 in the 2nd round, 36th overall.

Casper Ware not selected in NBA Draft, joins Pistons for Summer League and a chance to tryout for spot
All the best to the 2-time Big West Player of the Year, as he will try to defy the odds and make the team.
