As a conference mate for one more year, we are asking for your support, either morally or signing of the petition.
I just can't do it. It isn't that I don't want Idaho to remain D1 it is that I don't want them in the SBC. That is a miserable away game experience. I've always liked the idea of regional conferences. Nothing personal.
To each their own. Thanks to those who have signed. Over 1,000 signatures this morning, plus a new story on Spokane TV and the Spokane newspaper is working on a story now.

RE: Idaho FBS Petition
That's awesome news. Glad to hear the media is picking it up.
I do wonder how the students are taking the news... I can't imagine they are happy. And isn't there a student fee that funds athletics? I'd be interested to see how the move down is sitting with (most likely) the largest donor base for Idaho Athletics.

Unfortunately 20-year-olds have short athletic memories and from 2011-2015 we were either heading toward or digging out of rock bottom, so I'd say up until now Idaho students have mainly been apathetic toward Idaho athletics. This season has changed things a bit and many of them are just beginning to wrap their heads around the idea that they can be proud of their sports teams. So we'll see what happens going forward.
