Washington State better do something fast before this becomes a reality.

Umm, Boise has contract to join Mountain West - Redrum - 09-13-2010

Even if they could back out of that without significant penalties,  the fact that they initiated the move on their own and PICKED the Mountain West as the logical step up makes it unlikely they want to play against Pac-10 competition week in and week out.

And, finally,  the Pac has a deal where the academic side of each member school gets to approve/veto membership moves.  One of their requirements (pretensions?) for membership is some (very rough) form of academic equivalence among the members.   Rightly or wrongly, Boise would never pass muster on that front.

Redrum is, alas, right...and besides we already have one BS school in the Pac...over in the East Bay
