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.</SPAN></FONT></P>

style="FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">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.</SPAN></FONT></P></DIV>
