The University of Idaho has yet to announce a decision regarding the status and conference affiliation of its football program, as an impending May 4 deadline looms.
With the Sun Belt Conference’s initiative to deny the Vandals a contract extension as a football-only member, the team has yet to determine its future beyond the 2017 season.
During a press conference March 1, University of Idaho President Chuck Staben said the institution would pursue all options, including Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) Independence or joining the Football Championship Subdivision as a Big Sky program.
Staben said remaining in the FBS without a conference would prove difficult for the program.
