The move was financial. When I was in college, we never lost to Boise State.
We tried to keep up with BSU. It was financial. They had a small metro population and we had a small agro-population. It was a big difference. Even though Idaho has three bowl wins, it was losing season after losing season.
We are now at the FCS level with an FCS stadium (16,000) and we have the opportunity to compete at our level.
Yes, BSU is our rival, but they forgot we are their rival.
Better days ahead.
