Has Boise become irrelevant?
Why do you think that Chris Petersen left to take the Washington job? The Boise State Prez (among others) fell asleep at the switch and now realizes that the Power 5 schools are going to further differentiate themselves from the rest of the pack.
Power 5 Conferences are already working on changes within the NCAA bylaws to permit more autonomy in several areas:
--Full cost of tuition
--Complete 24/7 meal plans
--More flexible academic admission standards (think of a nicer way of saying Props)
--More scheduling flexibility
--The ability to pass legislation governing major college football w/o having to get the approval of IAA football schools, basketball schools
and mid-majors from the Group of 5.
