And include relegation in the plans.

No, not at all if you enjoy it. Not a waste of time if it is fun.

As a resident of the mediocre to terrible state of Idaho I am interested to see how the USC and UCLA defections from the PAC 12 inpact the future of Boise State. BSU football is the closest thing to professional sports we have.

Fans have been hoping and wishing for a chance to join a power 5 conference for over a decade only to be passed over time and again.

There’s about to be no such thing as power 5, just power 2

Agreed

But BSU sits in a conference that is probably 7th or 8th.

Seems like college FB is basically just adding another tier, dividing the current FBS (P5 and G5) into two tiers. I assume Boise State would be in the 2nd tier, which would have their own playoff. I get that fans of BSU and other schools won’t like the change at first, but I bet the playoff system in the 2nd tier will be a big deal, keeping all CFB fans engaged.

We will always have the 2007 Fiesta Bowl ( greatest college football game ever)

I have it on DVD and watch it at keast once per year.

Hey us Idahoans don’t have much.

You have a superb take down of the dirt-burglars/land-thieves/okie/ou and that’s something.

That game was epically fun to watch :metal:t2:

Most of your views are spot on but you’re STILL wrong on this one.

The Doyce view as to all this is the correct one. It’s a slow motion train wreck nearly 40 years in the making.

Unless you’re looking at all this through burnt orange colored glasses.

Nice slam at UT, but I have no fucking idea why.

I’m actually a fan of the school Jim but I don’t think I’ll ever be able to convince you otherwise.

You’re way too sensitive about things you think might remotely be a criticism of the Horns.

Sensitive??? You’re crazy if you think my comment was sensitivity. All I said was I did not understand why you were taking a shot.

I will hasten to add, as I said yesterday, I spend no time thinking about football realignment. I do not care a whit about it. I have not read Doyce’s treatise on the subject.

A really good article that shows where the money is coming from in the case of U of H. And it’s pretty eye-popping.

In the most recent reporting period (FY 21), $41MM was paid by the university to subsidize the athletic program while student fees added another $8.5MM. Combined that represented 75% of the athletic program’s budget. It was the 3rd most subsidized program in the nation with only Arizona State ($62MM) and UConn ($43MM) receiving more from their schools.

Over the last 4 years the athletics program has received $35MM in student fees and $125MM from the university (that number might actually be higher at $135MM but the article contains a discrepancy so it’s hard to be certain).

Back in 2007 the department received just $2MM from the university.

Would they at least change the name of their conference then?

96

Big 8x2

97

They’re the Big 8 + 4 - 4 + 2 - 2 + 4

I propose the name be changed to the BMC.

“Big 'Merican Conference”

This schedule reveal is 10/10, absolutely no notes.

If I could turn back time, I would sneak into the DKR press box and cut Joe Tessitore’s headset cable before he could say “Texas is back”.
