Even if they do not accept the invitation they win. Look at how many fans are now Boise State fans, reading their BOT minutes, stating publicly how great the deal is, can't wait to be together, boosting up the KumBaYa meeting in Providence. Hell the only fans that really are sour on the idea are the Boise State fans themselves. Most on their boards are anything but excited about the move and most see it is a negative. So Boise wins and now has Houston, UCF, SMU,USF,U Conn and to much lesser degree Cincy and U of L fans all hugging a bronco.

I always like rooting for the underdogs. its cool to see a small regional school who are basically relegated to recruiting 2 and 3 stars but can still compete with the big programs. been cheering for em since the '07 fiesta bowl. also, please change the smurf turf-it was cool then but not so much anymore especially if you guys also have blue uniforms.

You're assuming that most people pay attention to these things. However, this is far from the case.

The number of people who are aware that Boise is being considered for the Big East right now are a tiny minority of the country.
