Just one more opponent for Rutgers to beat up on. Major bounce back year next season.

To go where? Nobody wants them in a BCS conference and the Wac is worse now than when they left. They really take a kick in the *** with this move. Boise now plays against tougher teams that they did in the WAC (not much but a little bit tougher) which should limit some of their big scoring wins while also getting less exposure and no chance at an automatic bid anymore. They are going to lose recruits because they are no longer on ESPN, and they are going to take a step back because they will be hard pressed to continue to get respect when nobody can watch them.
Boise screwed up big time accepting that invitation. They had no way of knowing the end consequences but if they had stayed in the WAC it may be the MWC falling apart right now instead of the WAC. Then they would have a better TV deal while also having slightly better competition when some of the MWC leftover's started looking for somewhere to go.
Where else would they go? The MWC basically killed WAC football, didn't they?

I love it how TCU is going to the Big East and everyone would be traveling across the country yet we can't have a tournament because the poor student athlete would miss too much school.
And we know that the NCAA is mainly concerned with the student athlete. That's why TCU will never g2 the Big East nor will Texas ever consider moving to the Pac-10............
Personally, I compare Utah and TCU as pawns.
They're the BCS busters. To silence them, the powers that be have now invited them to BCS conferences. Now they'll shut up and drop their BCS cases. Notice how Orrin Hatch hasn't made a peep now that Utah has joined. All of a sudden the BCS is completely fair!
I wouldn't be surprised to see Boise invited before BYU, Houston, Nevada, or any of the other mid-major schools. They've broken the BCS before and easily could have done it again this year. All someone needs to do is shut up Boise St. and basically all threats to this corrupt system will be eliminated.
Thanks Utah and TCU, for being willing prostitutes. You both had the opportunity to give big business the finger. You could have worked to take down the evil empire. Instead, you joined the dark side. All of a sudden the BCS is amazing!
Hope Craig James, Mark May, and the rest of those BCS blowhards tip ya well!

You need to stop crying. Utah did what is in its best interest as well as TCU. It is neither school's fault that nobody but the WAC and MWC want BYU.

This certainly kills Boise even more. I predicted TCU would be invited to a conference with an AQ. I didn't think it would be the Big East, but it ultimately is much better than being in the MWC with Hawaii(lol) and Boise State(this news hurts them even more).
Now them's some SOUR grapes.
BCS guy 1: "How are we gonna deal with these little teams that keep gettin' all up in our BCS?"
BCS guy 2: "They're makin' me crazy."
BCS guy 3: "How 'bouts we just bring 'em in?"
BCS guy 1: "Whatchoo mean?"
BCS guy 3: "Make 'em think they're in the club. That'll shut 'em up. They'll be our little bitches."
BCS guy 2: "Shoo-wee-mama! I love it. We'll control them. I hate that Orrin Hatch. He's such a bag."
BCS guy 1: "Muhahaha..."
Honestly at this point Boise St, Nevada, and Fresno St should all just stay in the WAC. They already have an ESPN deal. The remaining teams in both conferences are pretty weak. They would not have to pay any payout. Their fans could actually watch their games. Hawaii is talking about potentially leaving the WAC, so that would greatly reduce travel costs. They could try to even add UNLV and/or San Diego St, since the WAC would now have the leverage if those teams stayed. It would save them travel costs help the UNLV/Nevada rivalry.

I don't remember the exact number, but it was something like 70-80%(it might have been even higher) of the mtn. channel's viewership comes from within the state of Utah. Comcast has always had an out based on any defections. So basically if you're a Boise fan at this point, you are hoping Comcast pulls the plug on the channel and then the MWC is able to shop itself elsewhere. The other teams in that conference, and the non-football sports for that matter, probably love the Mtn. I'm sure a lot of those teams' fans have seen more games over the past few years than they were seeing previously.

I hate to sound so dramatic, but as I see it, all of these events are leading to one conclusion: Boise State will soon die as a football power.
There is no home for them. I can't see why the Big 10 would want to expand to Idaho, the Pac12 won't need them when it's time to go to 16 teams and the Big12 will be gone once the Pac12 expands.
Boise has been a nice story for a while now but I just don't see how they can mantain it over the long haul. You may have a windfall recruiting year or two based off the past BCS Busting success but you can't mantain it year in and year out when you're in Boise's position. Why do you think Utah bolted as soon as they could? Obviously $$$$ was the main reason but because of that money/exposure they will now be able to recruit on a whole new level.
Boise has topped out. There is literally nowhere else to go for them. Coaches are going to start seeing the glass ceiling as well as recruits. 5 years from now they will be a shadow of what they are today and 10 years from now they'll simply be a footnote and a fun memory of what the "little guy" can accomplish when he puts his mind to it.
