Idaho and Montana didn't leave. The California schools and Washington disbanded the Pacific Coast Conference and formed their own Association of Western Universities, and later invited back the Oregon schools and Wash St. Even while in the theb PCC, Idaho and Montana rarely were the home fb team. Idaho had strived to be FBS in remembrance of their former big time connections til now, and that jilting was historically a big reason. Idaho managed to conserve being a top flight IA school for a time even when they were in the Big Sky. The jilting also seemed to effect the Montanas, who's board doesn't want to take a risk, doesnt allow separation of the two, or get in a league over their heads, after Utah and Colorado schools abandoned Mt State and the Skyline Conference too.
Montana did leave in 1950.
Idaho got left behind.
