A revolving door of Presidents over the past 2 decades have really never had much interest in moving anything forward, as partially evidenced by the fact that our current AD was an accountant in the Ag Department hired on an interim basis in 2003. He's presided over the worst stretch in Idaho athletic history and is somehow still here.

Maybe that is because athletics are not the most important part of a University's mission?

If Idaho intends to play FB they are heading in the right direction, if money is the issue they may want to think about D2. The other choice is to drop the sport. They do not belong in FBS and never did.

Of course I'm of the mind that NMSU and half the MAC and Sun Belt also don't belong in FBS but that's for a different thread.
