UNIVERSITY OF IDAHO

While the University of Idaho’s football future is unknown, the Vandals will not be caught flat-footed when it becomes much more clear in the next two months. President Chuck Staben was in Boise on Thursday and spoke with the Idaho Statesman about the state of the program, and what lies ahead. Staben said the university will pitch its case to remain in the Sun Belt Conference with a video presentation to league presidents in February. The presidents are scheduled to vote March 10 on future membership. Idaho joined the southern-based conference before the 2014 season on a four-year agreement, up for extension after two years. Idaho has been considering its options, Staben said, whether it can remain in the Football Bowl Subdivision or return to the Football Championship Subdivision ranks in the Big Sky Conference. -Dave Southorn, Idaho Statesman, Read More
