I've brought this subject up before, but recent conference shuffling events really seem to have put U of Idaho athletics in a very hard place. No Division 1 conference seems to want the Vandals. I just saw a Facebook poll asking which of three options respondents would prefer given the circumstances. 1. Try playing as a D-1 independent, which would probably mean about three home games a year while hoping for an eventual conference invitation. 2. Play, again, in the Sun Belt (teams in Louisiana, Tennessee...) to stay D-1. If the Sun Belt wanted Idaho. 3. Swallow pride and return to 1-AA and the Big Sky. So far in the Facebook poll, the Big Sky leads comfortably. Any thoughts? Or is it even a concern outside of the hard core fans?<br>
