I see teams like TCU and BYU involved in some expansion talks, and Utah has already made their move, but the team that is always wanting respect and a spot in the title game, Boise st., is no where to be seen. Are they in the discussion and I just haven't paid attention, or are conferences just not interested, or is Boise st itself not interested in moving?

This is a serious question, where is Boise in all this expansion talk? Is there a possibility that they end up in a new AQ conference soon? I'm just wondering because I feel like they are the best team of all these teams mentioned.

we have been rumored to the Big 12 if they go to 12 or 14 teams.

No, you have not been rumored to the Big 12. Expansion candidates at this point are BYU, Louisville, and WVU. There is not one credible source that's ever even MENTIONED BSU.....to ANY BCS conference, let alone the Big 12

At this point, nobody wants BSU.....and there are a few reasons why.

Berry Tramel? Seriously? A blog by who knows where?

Like I said, no credible source has even MENTIONED BSU as a possible candidate. The actual list has been discussed on nearly every major newsite, and BSU isn't one of the candidates, and never was. Hell the sources you list here talk about TCU not being a candidate, and here they are with an invite!

If/when superconferences become a reality, BSU has to get picked up by somebody. But if the Big 12 goes back to 12, they won't be adding BSU. If they go beyond 12 at some point it could be a possibility.

Nothing really. But they'll be an option for a 16 team conference. The biggest problem is that if they ever start sucking in football, that's it. They got nothing else to offer.
