ISU is a football wasteland, but still fills its stadium and travels. It's a significantly sized school and it's AAU.

ISU will retain their place at the major's table. I wouldn't be surprised who'd line up to take them, even if we hear Big Ten people say "not us" all of the time.

ISU's president can be that kind of snob, if that's what he really means with that quote. His school will be fine.

That is 0ld school thinking since the 1900s. There is no support in this and age for having snobs in college sports. Boren, the PAC 12 commish and others know this, and a change should take place. Academics should not play a role in this at all. Adding Boise State with their strong athletics into the conference could draw people to them than without.
