Most Group of 5 schools — heck, many Power 5 ones as well — spend decades and untold millions looking to establish what Boise did long ago: tradition, culture, identity, brand. It would fair to say Boise State is the Notre Dame of the Group of 5.

Ahhh no

Boise has that cached with people over 35 and under 50. People over 50 don't give them much consideration in the college landscape. People under 35 don't have the BCS controversy and Statue of Liberty burned into their head. The average high school player outside of the NW and California is mostly oblivious.

I don't think they're an unknown for today's high school students. Boise gets a lot of love from ESPN, and the smurf turf is recognizable.
For those potential recruits, yes they've faded since 2014 Fiesta, and statue of liberty in 2007 Fiesta may not resonate, but still some brand value with today's youngsters. Not as much but still there.

Fair enough, the blue turf holds some resonance. I would contend that reality is by far closer to my assessment that that they are a ND of the G5. Which to be truthful seems to be the role of BYU.

Theyve won 100 games since joining the MW. How many other teams in Division 1A have that many wins since 2011? No G5 for sure.

I only got to 95, but it is amazing what you can do with more money and more exposure than everyone else you play. Almost like how the p5 racks up those g5 wins.

That isn't what we were talking about though, with one major bowl appearence since CFP which isn't brand new anymore, no national championships and the inability to win their own conference half the time, how are they ND?
