Boise's gridiron success hasn't translated into recruiting bump
Jan. 1, 2012



It has been widely reported that the commissioners and presidents who run the BCS are leaning toward eliminating the concept of automatic qualifier conferences. They've expressed surprise and unease over the fact that the thirst for AQ status has become a motivating factor in conference realignment.

That's because they've never tried to recruit football players to Boise State.

Each of the past three years, Boise has opened the season with nationally televised wins over ranked opponents (Oregon, Virginia Tech and Georgia). The Broncos have gone 73-6 under Chris Petersen, won two BCS bowls, hosted ESPN's GameDay, appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated and produced a Heisman Trophy finalist in Kellen Moore.
