The Western Athletic Conference is moving its men’s and women’s basketball tournaments to Las Vegas in 2011, the Honolulu Advertiser reported Tuesday.

The WAC has scheduled a “major announcement” for Wednesday afternoon.

The Orleans Hotel and Casino is expected to be the host at its 9,000-seat arena.

The tournaments will be held in Reno in 2010.

Boise State has landed a quarterback commitment for the incoming Class of 2010, according to ESPN.

Grant Hedrick, a 6-foot-1, 180-pounder from Central High in Independence, Ore., committed to the Broncos on Saturday, ESPN reported.

The Broncos currently have four quarterbacks on the roster for the 2009 season: sophomore starter Kellen Moore, junior Mike Coughlin and incoming freshmen Joe Southwick and Mike Tamburo.

There has been much confusion over the Broncos' future non-conference schedules.

Here they are (dates tentative). In even years, the Broncos can schedule four non-conference games. In odd years (or years when the Broncos travel to Hawaii), they can schedule up to five non-conference games.

Boise State athletic director Gene Bleymaier told the Statesman’s Chadd Cripe that because of the economy he has to consider scheduling a money game for the Broncos’ football team.

“Right now, I’d go where I can make the most money,” Bleymaier said. “If I can play at home and make that much money, then I’m going to play at home. But it’s difficult to make that much money in our stadium size. … I’ve tried to avoid those (guarantee games). Now they’re much more of a reality going forward.”

Once again, Boise State is tweaking its football uniforms. Boise State unveiled its new football uniforms for 2009 on Monday. The biggest changes: gray has been added and the use of Boise State has been removed from the jerseys.

Tony Barnhart of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution — who writes under the "Mr. College Football" tag and is as connected to college football as anyone in that part of the country — has an interesting tidbit in his blog.

Here it is:

Utah, Boise State to the Rose Bowl? It could happen soon: Over the course of the week I found out that there is an interesting little nugget in the new BCS contract with ESPN, which will begin after the 2010 regular season.
