Not a religious school.

Anyways, in terms of big west movement. Fisher thinks it will be better for us. First off, it gets us off the terrible and stupid MWC network, which if you don't own or know about it, its terrible as a fan. We will now get even more exposure going to be on ESPN and Fox Sports etc. Secondly, the move to football has guaranteed us OOC games vs Big East schools in Basketball. Besides, people don't commit to schools for who they play (most of the time). The come to Viejas, take in the arena and atmosphere and fall in love. Plus its almost an auto bid to the tournament every year being in the Big West.

Plus the Big West has agreed to only a 14 game schedule so we can have more OOC games to beefen the schedule and RPI etc
