I don't think the PAC or even the AAC is a viable option for Boise, which is why I think this coach is just blowing smoke that won't amount to anything.

The only possible realistic option is dumping the Olympic sports in the WAC or WCC (big step down) and going independent in football. But they must see how independence hasn't actually worked out for BYU.

I agree about blowing smoke. Honestly the only team I see having independence working in the MWC is Hawaii because it's olympic sports are already separate from the MWC and week 0 gives schools the option to rearrange late season conference games if they want to play hawaii.
I don't know how Boise State could bring in teams to play in Idaho in November. At least UConn could possibly offer a away basketball game or something as a offering for a neutral or late home game.

I'm actually curious if Boise State is actually overvalued by the tv contract and people because of their past success. I'm wondering if the MWC actually needs Boise State long term. Should Boise State leave a obviously NMSU would most likely be added while a obvious huge step down in football quality it could be a slight uptick in basketball quality. Would UTEP be interested in a MWC invite or want to stay in the C-USA? I'm also wondering if it's worth keeping Wyoming if UTEP says yes. It's just to me trips to Wyoming doesn't make much sense without a Idaho school.
