OT: Idaho headed to Big Sky?

With the way things are going for Wyo, I would not be surprised to see Wyo and several other MW teams take a step like this in the next 15 years.

Well, if the P5 conferences get what they want (and they usually do), a good 65-70 FBS schools will be forced into what would be the new second division.

And I see a handful of current P5 schools like Iowa State moving down as well.

The Big12 distributes $$$ pretty unevenly thanks to Texas.

The rest of the P5 programs are making so much money due to their conference tie ins. they will be fine.

Terrible news for Idaho fans. I live in North Idaho, believe that the MW should expand by many teams, and even I don't believe they are a fit for the MW so it makes sense that they can't find a spot. Hope the sun belt brings them back. The whole thing for a while has been they believe they need to be in the same conference or atleast the same division level as Boise state.

This really is the issue^^^^...it's the elephant in the room they don't want to admit. Boise State-Idaho isn't competitive on the field, but off the field it is as nasty as any other rivalry. Majority of this is just wanting to be able say they're still FBS. If BSU weren't around, common sense would have never allowed the Vandals in FBS ball to begin with.

This was the same thing that happened in the Dakotas.
