Boise State

I agree 100% I think that Boise has more than proven themselves worthy of joining the Pac 10 as well.

Won't happen even though they've done pretty well against them for the past few years.

boise state is a commuter school that plays in a stadium with 30k capacity. doesn't exactly fit the mold of UT, OU, etc.

Boise State isn't that far removed from being a Junior College. Absolutely no possible way that the Pac-10 invites them, even if they get a no from the first 20 schools they ask. I don't know why people keep on suggesting this.

Endowments:

Stanford University - $17.2 billion
University of Southern California - $3.6 billion
University of California, Berkeley - $3.1 billion
University of California, Los Angeles - $2.6 billion
University of Washington - $2.2 billion
Washington State University - $678 million
University of Colorado at Boulder - $593 million
University of Arizona - $519 million
University of Oregon - $498 million
Arizona State University - $494 million
Oregon State University - $476 million
Boise State University - $53 million

So if the Pac 10 is not the answer for Boise than what is? They play good football against a weak lineup cracking a few top dogs here and there. They need a conference more on their playing field. I agree with others at the end of the year I am tired of the small schools with no strength of schedule and the arguments of if they should play for a national title or not. I think all the conferences need to expand and bring in some of these teams to even the field a little or the best they can be. Obviously some conferences will be bigger/better than others but the TCU,Boise, Utahs need to fit in somewhere and can ND please go in someones conference lol.

I think Utah and Boise woulda got in earlier if not for BYU... I think Utah and BYU are joined at the hip and the PAC 10 didn't want BYU, specifically Cal I heard

I knew somebody was going to say that. Stanford is just on a whole different level. They are up basically an ivy league school. Back to the point though, Boise State absolutely sucks in every aspect besides football, plus they have little resources, plus they are stuck in Idaho. The might get invited to the MWC, but not if the Big 12 breaks up. All 12 of those schools would be a better choice than Boise State.

Exactly. Too many people think that having a decent football team is what the conferences are looking for.

Boise State is one of the reasons all of this is happening, however slightly. The BIG schools are pissed that some of these little schools keep taking some money from the pot. The BIG schools created this thing called the BCS and now little schools are hopping around stealing money. With 4-5 Mega conferences it opens it up to seperate from the NCAA so the BIG boys can keep all of the money in house.
