I've heard some rumblings that the Big Sky wishes to upgrade to FBS status. Wonder how that would get done, and would they pull some teams from the MVFC to make that happen? ala, North Dakota State and South Dakota State
That's not how it works. CAA fans used to say that they were going to do this, all the time.
The ol’ CAA. Have forgotten about that league. Is it still in existence? Oh yeah, that’s the league Elon moved to and still can’t win a championship.

Vandal fans were betrayed by their leadership by not going all in on FBS years ago and the fans deserved better. Just hope Idaho makes one helluva a lemonade punch out of these lemons.

I understand that's not how it works. The reason why I don't think it's as hard as some think it is, because of the move Liberty pulled earlier this year. I understand they have a lot of money to fight a legal battle, but there's really nothing the NCAA could do to stop such a move. And I say this because a court of law would uphold any kind of ruling that could prove preventing them(Big Sky or Liberty) from moving up, was unconstitutional. That's an important factor in determining what the NCAA can and can't regulate. As we've already seen with the FBI college basketball sting, the NCAA can do very little to control it. But the federal government can move like a hot knife through butter, if they so choose to.

Best of luck Idaho. I hope GSU gets the chance to even the series some time.
A surprisingly good turnout of Vandals fans at Georgia State Stadium last Saturday.

It sucks that it has to be y'all but this will be an interesting case study to see whether or not dropping down is worth it.

Good Luck!
I always loved yall's mascot and pulled for yall when you weren't playing South.
Yall had a LB named Vaborra or something years ago that snuck into ESPN highlight reels and the combine and it piqued my interest.
Wish yall had been located in Moscow, Mississippi or something.
Can't wait to see you making the FCS playoffs.

You should be proud of your team the last couple of years. I have no idea how they managed to keep it together and not collapse. And kudos to Petrino for sticking with it.
Don't let it be the last word. Start planning your comeback. It might take 20 years, but you never know what can happen.

If Mario is supposed to represent the Boise State football program accurately he really should be trying to sexually assault or murder somebody. At least they managed to spell everything correctly. I'll give them that.
