Idaho set to drop down to FCS; what does it mean for WSU's scheduling?

The Idaho Vandals had until May 4th to make a decision on joining the Big Sky or ultimately going Independent. That decision is expected to come Thursday.

The University of Idaho Vandals appear ready to do something that nobody in the NCAA has ever done: According to multiple reports, the university will announce today that the football team will make the move from the FBS division to FCS, likely to join the Big Sky Conference.

The move was precipitated by the Sun Belt Conference announcing on March 1st that they would not be renewing the football-only contract for the Vandals after the 2017 season.
