The idiotic move of the ACC will eventually impact us all, just as the growth in the Rocky Mountain Region is going to affect our classification, just as the growth in the South affected the SoCon (check out their list of former members). Nobody in their right mind can deny that Boise and Bozeman are now destination locations. I never imagined Boise growing to over a half a million, but on the other hand, I don't have any idea what is going to stop Bozeman and it's proximity to Yellowstone National Park, world class destination ski resorts, hundreds of multibillionaires, hi-tech companies by the moving van relocating back to where they got their education--my school is going to get pulled up by a larger conference whether all the kids who can't remember when we were in the conference that morphed into the original WAC likes it or not
The only impediment to this natural progression is that our Board of Regents is pretty much run by the school that envisions themselves as pseudo-bigtime (without the academics or infrastructure--and the capability to expand that infrastucture). Anyway, change is the only constant we need to get used to. We'll adapt and love our school and the game of football no matter what the level.
p.s. Wouldn't you love the fizzledoutagain fans to have to watch their team play USC, UCLA, Washington, Washington State, Oregon, Oregon State, berkley
