of course, ask zenyatta supporters. they think everything east of cali/oregon/washington is Big East territory.

Boise needs to get into a BCS conference. They should have joined the Pac 12 instead of Colorado.

The problem is boise doesnt have strong enough programs or enough money to be a Pac-10 school. They can only compete in football.

But Colorado is a relatively well off school. BSU's athletic budget for 2010 is around 25 million. That is 5 million less than Washington State which is the lowest in the Pac 10 and struggles to compete across the board at that level.

At AZ the Womans basketball coach makes 400k a year despite not being a top program and losing a ton of money every year.
