* The AAC seemingly does not want Boise's Olympic sports ...

* Boise men's hoops seems very respectable

* If I'm Boise, I do NOT want my football in one league and all other sports in another. That is a bad model.

That model is working okay for Hawaii and Navy.

Maybe it could be a PR issue for Boise State also. They were selling themselves as a P5 school a few years ago and now the AAC is telling them that their olympic sports aren't worth anything to them and they just want it's football. What happens if the Big 12 or Pac 12 actually try to expand? While Boise State could argue it upgraded it's football schedule it's olympic sports schedule could drop down. If they don't win from the start they could think it hurts the selling point of the school. The only lateral move is to the WCC.


Excellent points. I would not want dual conference affiliations if I'm Boise.

Its not that Boise's Olympic sports suck...they are simply a geographical outlier. If they were in Birmingham instead of Boise they would be in the AAC as a full member
