Life can be hard for a college football program that finds itself outside the exclusive Power 5 club. For schools like BYU, Boise and Hawaii, the chance to be a full-fledged member of the Elite has rarely been made available; only Utah & TCU have made the jump nearly a decade ago.
It seems like all three schools have something playing against them: BYU's religious affiliation, Boise's academic reputation and Hawaii's minuscule television market are just some of the excuses we've heard.
But who of the three is in the best position right now?
When it was revealed recently that Boise St. coach Bryan Harsin had been urging his school to leave the Mountain West and that his AD at BSU had inquired with the West Coast and Big West conferences - two non-football conferences - the rumor mill fired up again. But where would the Broncos go for football?
BYU went Independent in 2011, sending their non-football sports to the WCC and yet saw their rival Utes springboard way past them when it was Utah that received the PAC12 invite.
Indy might not be the best place for football, but is BYU the best-positioned mid major? How would Boise fare as an Independent? Is it better to be in a conference?
We discuss the infusion of billions of dollars into college football and how TV rights - illuminated by a Supreme Court decision in 1984 that challenged the NCAA monopoly - have changed the way we look at amateur sports and have blown up a crater of divide between the haves and the have-nots.
