Since WAC commissioner Benson replied with "no comment" regarding the
question of whether BSU had anything to do with wooing Reno and Fresno State
from the WAC to the MWC, I think it's just another reason to hate Boise
State.  Those donks are going to do all they can to torpedo any sort of
success the UI as a whole, and the Vandals in particular, might enjoy.  They
continue to have an inferiority complex regarding Idaho (as they should), so
they are doing all they can to reduce Idaho's size and relevance, and they
figure they might as well start with athletics, football in particular.

 

I want to fight them.

It's a long, complex story that is still evolving,  but the Western Athletic
Conference, of which the University of Idaho is a member, is in some danger
of collapsing in a couple of years, with the possibility of the U of I being
left out in the cold regarding any conference affiliation.  For those who
follow and care about this sort of stuff (and I'm not advocating anything,
just wondering how Moscow people feel), if the conference, which is Division
1, does dissolve (which may well not happen), should the Vandal program
continue to try to compete at the D-1 level, go back to the 1-AA Big Sky
conference, with Montana, Montana State, EWU, etc., or drop football?
Again, I'm not advocating anything, just curious.  Obviously it's a big, big
issue on Vandal Venue currently.
