I hate it for that. Hate it for the Boise celebration.
But I'd have made the same call.

I was hoping you Vandals would get to stay in the Belt... now that your future is set, I say go and freakin' dominate the Big Sky. Win yourselves a couple of FCS Championships! I'll be pulling for you! 04-rock

I am sure they are still predicting the entire Sun Belt will be forced back down. I have not been on that site in at least three years. I think I checked it just to see the reaction of GS and App moving up. Other than that cant remember my last visit. Depressing bunch of success hating ********.

Idaho will not save any significant money by moving down but they will be more competitive. FCS is not that much cheaper. It only frees up 20+ scholarships. They will also have to cut a girls team or two to save additional money now that they freed up 20+/- guy schollies.

Guess it is better than not having any football and now maybe their alums can travel to away games. You cant have just one foot in the FBS you are either growing or headed back down to play VMI and the like. I am kind of bummed we don't have the plans drawn up for the next stadium expansion. Folks like pretty renderings.

Won't be going a minimum of 1000 miles for every league game.
Will be able to play conference games at night.
Will play schools the casual fan in the area and recruits at the games have some awareness of.

I love that they start by calling us "the SlumBelch" and that saying FCS is better anyways and the Big Sky is "a move up" and then they move into talking about trying to make the Big Sky into an FBS conference. These people are insane.

Good move for Idaho. Unless you're school is in a major conference, FBS isn't anything other than what it is -- good college football.

No big deal. Unless of course all you care about is what the guys who measure their ***** size by the conference their football team plays in think.

Ouch.

Would likely be less costly long term to finance a $50M stadium upgrade.To think that they used to be in the Pacific Coast Conference.

Agree, they were a victim of geography. Idaho really can only support one FBS team and unfortunately, Boise beat them to the punch.

It's unrealistic for the Sun Belt to be spread so far.

They are a victim of bad decisions going back to 1958
