No clue how anyone could rank UNLV above Boise State for all athletics.
I'd take Rice over Boise State. The Houston TV market and Rice's academics alone offer more than Boise State does.

We need Texas and Oklahoma. But Texas has to agree to be an equal partner. Doubt that happens.
Because Boise is a non-academic, athletic blip at the end of a fluke run with no market, no real likelihood of sustaining elite football, no significant offerings in other main sports, where UNLV, at the very least, has Masters programs, a decently large market in a sports-obsessed city, with multiple athletic programs worth a damn and no reason they can't get better with Pac12 money, exposure, and promotion.
once MBTF gets fired by Texas and they throw more money at Peterson than the entire state of Idaho is worth, BSU football will fade into irrelevancy almost instantaneously.
The way I see it, I Miami can't sustain success, there's no chance Boise can.
Masters programs are athletics? Market size is athletics? Interesting.
Market size is totally athletics related. The Pac isn't gonna add schools that don't bring in new TV markets.
Pac12 has two general stipulations for expansion. No religious-affiliated schools and all schools must be a research 1 academic ins ute with both Masters and Doctoral programs being offered and certain specific academic membership had.
UNLV is a stretch on the latter, same with SDSU, but both are far closer than Boise.
And you fail to even acknowledge market saturation/penetration and program sustainability.
With each regions market and talent pool, there is literally no reason UNLV and SDSU can't both sustain quality programs in football, basketball, and baseball with Pac12 money, exposure, and promotion.
I agree. Adding Boise doesn't benefit the Pac, but instead just benefits Boise.
Why would any conference want Texas and Oklahoma knowing that every time either is on TV the money goes to the Big 12. That is what happens when you sign over your media rights to the conference.
It'd take balls to invite a team but let the team keep all the additional revenue it would have otherwise brought to the conference. Great idea, keep telling yourself that.
The only way UT ever joins the pac is if it gives up its LHN and agrees to be a team player. Otherwise, it'll stay in the B12 with nothing but teams that are willing to be UT rags.
Until Boise drops it's trucking program, they won't even sniff the Pac-12. Idaho has a bigger chance of joining the Pac-12 than Boise does.
Ironic posting from a Domer fan.
And truckers have to truck, what was your point again?Damn, the haters are salty as right now...
