Boise will end up with another conference arrangement before this is through.

The joke's on Boise. The way Boise handled themselves with the Big East/AAC didn't do them any favors. So, if Boise's going somewhere else, it won't be lateral or higher in terms of conference prestige.

Plus, the way Boise tried publicly lobbying for Big Sky and Big West inclusion to park their olympic sports, as well as how the school pretty much labeled anything not as football as second-class?

Someone's forcing Boise's hand in terms of leverage. And they know Boise's sitting on a **** hand.

Indy football, WAC ollies. Calling it now.

I could see the AAC offer a lifeline to their football. 11 teams right now getting to 12 with the best football program available which instantly makes any P6 idea far more credible.

AFA, BYU, and even SDSU (still) offer that same credibility. When the AAC did that before, Boise strung them out and then skipped on paying. The conference sued Boise. SDSU handled their business better.

Boise really showed who and what they really are/were in that whole thing. It was putrid.

And I don't think Boise have themselves in check were they to inquire to the AAC. They'd want what Navy has. But Boise is no Navy.
