But every team in America sans the service academies have that on us. I don't buy the lower academic standards excuse. Teams like Stanford seem to do okay with higher academic standards. Fact is, BYU outrecruits Boise State.

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

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?

According to Rivals both beat us in recruiting

Yes. BSU has outrecruited us the last 4 years.

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.

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.

12/22/14 10:13am

Certainly before Crowton's time.

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

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

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

BYUfan92

And Utah State is nipping at the heels.

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