They do not have the donors and location Boise does among other things and should have stayed FCS.

My post was in response to why they dropped.
It is odd a rivalry that is 22-17-1 just stops when the former underdog gets on top.
NMSU is 33- 70 vs UNM and 32-57 vs UTEP for example.
Refusing to play in basketball except in Boise its odd.
Idaho does not have the local population or the fan base that is true.
The endowment is three times the size so they have donors.
One big difference is the emphasis on athletics .
I don't like Boise or their B.S. but the point was NMSU had an advantage as far as staying FBS.
Even U Mass has gotten B.C. to play down at Gillette also U Conn and Temple.
Idaho moved up to join the Big West and won it early.
Idaho had a bigger lead than Boise does now in their rivalry.
I would rather see the Montana schools and Dakota schools move up than any current option.
Doubt that happens but those are respectable schools with the right priorities .
Montana especially their closer than Boise and have a great fan base.
No different than Georgia Southern or App St two of the last four call ups.
