In case you’ve lived under a rock the past few years, Boise State has been trying to get to a Power 5 conference for... some time. To that end Boise State has made some progress: student population, facilities, new fields, coaches salaries, etc. Of course, like always, things change and that change requires a little more (money).
Like with any organization, Boise State is constantly trying to find ways to fund raise for their projects to make the school more appealing for whatever next step. But fund raising is difficult and, for lack of a better way of saying it, sucks.
