Yeah, the big money maker: hockey

The scholarships are a TINY part of the funding needed. Every sport would require significant increases in coaches salaries. Football in the MWC is one example. Wyoming is nowhere near the top of that conference and yet they completely blow our budget out of the water.
Doubling our Athletic budget might allow us to compete. Not dominate.
Boise State? The Metro area there is over 600,000 people. I watched them get smoked by Oregon State last night. Hmmmm. I think there was a time Boise mattered. Not so much now.

IMHO, its pointless to move up until there is a real playoff system like FCS.

I would love to be the next Boise. Every game they played this year was on national TV....yep they are clearly not relevant. It amazes me how posts on both sides of this issues on this site can border on crazy.
Of course we aren't going to be the next Boise until we get the stadium issue fixed. When somebody figures out a plan for that then we can really have a debate about this topic.

Yes I remember when they beat OU, in 2004...that's why i said they haven't been relevant since then.
My point is this, the pro FBS crowd commonly refers to trying to get to Boise status when in reality their Cinderella story from the fiesta bowl is basically all they have done in the last 15 years. Now they are playing in no name bowls and getting beat up by teams in the power conferences who have a losing record in conference play.
I will take national championships any day over that bs
