Idaho President Says Moving Down To FCS Is A Real Option

The Sun Belt will vote on Idaho's football-only status on March 10th and the Vandals aren Idaho and New Mexico State are preparing for whatever happens.

When Idaho and New Mexico State joined the Sun Belt in 2014 as football-only members, it was known that the agreement wasn't a long-term solution.

The deals, which are four-year contracts with the option to renew or terminate after two, are now at the halfway point, so it's decision time for the Sun Belt.

Idaho President Chuck Staben, in speaking to the Idaho Statesman, was very candid about what could happen to the Vandals football program.
