Brief Items: Boise State, Texas Tech, Nebraska

A few brief items:

Boise State yesterday moved from the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) to the Mountain West Conference. I guess the Mountain West's wait-and-see period, alluded to in one of my earlier postings, was short-lived.

The Lubbock Avalanche-Journal (isn't that a cool name for our newspaper?) speculates on how a possible move of Texas Tech to the Pac 10 would affect the city's economy.

The Sports Economist blog compares Nebraskas's average travel distance to its opponents' cities within the Big 12 and Big 10. Short answer: Excluding the Penn State trip, the Cornhuskers' flights for conference play won't be that much longer than they used to be.
