BSU is a good landing spot for kids who don't qualify for P12 schools.

Such a cop out and lame excuse.

Boise has no honor code, hence no limit on who can come play.

Sure, but how can you not say that there is more to it than just that?

2 Tru Blue

12/22/14 10:15am

There is no other explanation.

pittsburghcoug

12/22/14 10:17am

Hmmmm. So it's coaching and nothing else. No other factor at play here?

2 Tru Blue

According to Rivals both beat us in recruiting

shakarocks

Yes. BSU has outrecruited us the last 4 years.

expound on this?

teancum

12/22/14 10:32am

Already noted here by many - no HC, easy academics, good coaching, a little luck

BYUfan92

12/22/14 10:48am

I would argue that recruiting is part of coaching

teancum

12/22/14 11:24am

Coaching is very different than recruiting to me. Bad coaches can be great

BYUfan92

12/22/14 11:38am

BSU passed up BYU before Bronco was the coach. If they really passed BYU.

Lance71

12/22/14 10:08am

Shall we do a comparison?

pittsburghcoug

12/22/14 10:12am

I won't argue they haven't. But it still happened before Bronco.

Lance71

12/22/14 10:13am

Certainly before Crowton's time.

Look at the recent history before Bronco vs. what Utah, TCU and BSU had going.

BSU is a good landing spot for kids who don't qualify for P12 schools.

Blueto

12/22/14 10:10am

This is the most accurate reason. BSU find a way to qualify them where other

BSU then turns them in great students (source below)

A true desire to do what it takes to keep up with the competition.

12/22/14 10:12am

Boise State has minimal academic standards and no honor code. 2 big + for them

BYUfan92

12/22/14 10:19am

And Utah State is nipping at the heels.

Mathew

12/22/14 10:26am

good point, this same question could be applied to Utah State soon.

How would Washington State and Oregon State answer the question?
