Vandal fans are three days removed from the Sun Belt Conference’s bombshell announcement that the Idaho and New Mexico State football teams will not be conference members after the 2017 season.
Some are disappointed in the announcement, because it means our football program will likely become the first team to relocate from the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) to the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS). This would occur if University of Idaho President Chuck Staben accepts an invitation to join the Big Sky Conference.
Staben said Tuesday the Big Sky had extended an invitation to Idaho. The Vandals have until May 4 to make an official decision.
