Week 7 - NCAA Football

Maybe research what committed means then come back with the list of "a whole lot of other schools" you're talking about.

Well in college athletics, committed usually is directly tied to money. For facilities, for coaching staff, and these days for NIL. In that regard, a lot of schools have funneled more money into their football programs than Boise St. ever did.

If you are referring to cultivating a fundamentally strong and winning culture, I'm not sure if committed is really the word I would use to describe that.

Anyway to me Boise St. football is a bit like Gonzaga men's hoops. An unlikely rise to prominence for 2 programs that are from the same corner of the country. Kind of a lightning in a bottle situation, not easily replicated.

I feel you wanted a longer more nuanced answer. Being committed is all encompassing. It includes everything, every aspect of the program. With proper use of funds. But you see, I'm already bored and not committed to this conversation. For that reason, I'm out.

This imbalance is bad enough for football where they use charter flights and only play once a week on weekends. The disadvantage may be more pronounced for other sports that rely on commercial travel.
