what? Idaho better than Boise State in football?

Quote:
Boise State University has emerged in recent years as a football power but compares poorly with the less football-oriented University of Idaho. Despite spending more than twice as much as Idaho on athletics ($43 million versus $19 million), it loses more, and in both the Forbes and U.S. News rankings of colleges, Idaho clearly surpasses Boise. Many university presidents fail to recognize the Iron Law of Sports: When someone wins a game, someone else loses. It is impossible for a large portion of schools to achieve primacy in any given sport.

No one had even heard of Boise State before their football team broke into the national consciousness.
