Oregon State and Washington State are G5 errr G8 schools. 

WOSU will kick their newfound friends to the curb the minute they get invited to the cool kids table

I’d assume those graphics only serve as an example based on the current model. If they’re going to make a new division, it shouldn’t be initially based upon historical affiliation. For example, why the hell would Vanderbilt be in that division as opposed to a Boise. 

Because you’re a filthy trucker school full of dummies

Don't let Boise and SUDS fans see that graphic....

Strictly speaking if this situation comes about (and it likely will in some form).  I'd bet the farm (I actually don't have a farm but if I did) that Boise would be in way before OSU or WSU (and probably a few others).

Always thought It will end up being something like this model.   Two tiers.  Promotion & Relegation.  FB separate from conference affiliation of other sports.  Or something like that.

How tf do you do promotion w/o relegation? Eventually everyone is in the top division again. Am I taking crazy pills?

They meant no relegation for the chosen 72.  If you start 'in' you'll always be in.  Then there are 8 schools out of the 64 each season that get to 'play up'.  Only 8 schools can be promoted or relegated in any given season.

You mean the Fiduciary 4 plus USU are lighting money on fire to end up in the same spot in a few years?

So it's dumber than I thought

Or Navy for God's sakes.

I means there are more than a handful of schools that are less deserving than BSU. For obvious reasons to no one associated with Boise. 

We should explore that.
