My question is with these schools contacting the Big 12,
when are we going to quit playing with our dicks and start pitching to the Big 12 that
1: Our stadium is small right now but we have a plan in place that with better finances which the Big 12 would give us we will expand it to around 50,000.
2. There is a concern with our market yes, Boise isn't as big of a market as Orlando, Houston, Memphis, Cincinnati or the Denverish market of Colorado State but unlike those schools we own our market. Houston is a market that is primarily fans of Texas, Texas A&M, Oklahoma and LSU, Memphis is dominated mostly by Tennessee, Cincinnati by Ohio State. Along with that Boise State has the biggest national brand of any other school under consideration, even slightly bigger than BYU who mostly is a Mormon market. Having a national brand will allow for a bigger TV deal to be negotiated which is more $$$. Let's face it more people will be interested in Boise State vs TCU, Oklahoma, Baylor and Texas than they will Cincinnati, Memphis, UCF, Colorado State, Byu and Houston vs said teams. Let's look at a professional example of a successful team in a small market, the Green Bay Packers, they are in the smallest city of any professional team and yet they are one of the best NFL franchises because they are a national brand and they do a fantastic job with their resources.
3. Mentioning that do the research, no program is more successful on a budget than Boise State is.
4. Recent add-ons to the Big 12 and Pac-12 TCU and Utah respectively have often been compared to us when it comes to moving up to a bigger conference. The comparison was mostly made when both programs took their lumps and struggled for a few years. We are deeper than those TCU and Utah teams were when they moved up. We will still take our lumps that's for sure but like TCU and Utah the evidence from our performance on our current budget suggests we will be successful after a few years.
