Come to Boise State, or we will come to you
On its face, it looks like no BCS team wants to schedule a road game against Boise State with no home game in return. Boise State is trying to fill a void in their 2011 season schedule. Even the WAC commissioner, Karl Benson, is trying to help Boise State land a BCS team.
Benson is claiming that as many as 10 schools have turned downed a request to play the Broncos. However, what Benson isn’t talking about is that most BCS schools already have their 2011 season schedule locked-up. Plus, Boise state doesn’t have the market or the reputation like other top BCS schools so why would a top team schedule a game with Boise State?
I applaud Boise State for their efforts, but they should be trying to schedule top teams for 2012 and beyond and be willing to do a home-and-home or even just play a road game. Once they earn the respect like other top programs, more teams would probably be more willing to travel to the god awful blue field.
