I didn't think Boonville ever wanted in the SIAC, they are a BIG supporter of the Big 8 PAC football merger. I think your point about the Washington AD retiring and the Lincoln AD going to BNL is valid. I do think that is a formality though, from what I can gather Washington and Lincoln are in support of the merger as well. There are a lot of rumors as to Jasper (rumors are just that). I will say this, the original talk from multiple sources was that the SIAC wouldn't consider just one school, I'm not so sure that is the case.
