I have read several posts stating that the Griz couldn't win a National Championship when Boise and Idaho were in the Big Sky, well for you youngsters that can't remember that far back and were riding your skateboards to the farm, here is a section from the Big Sky Conference Website that proves you wrong!!
On July 1, 1970, the league experienced its first expansion, adding Boise State University and Northern Arizona University to the fold to create an eight-member league. On July 1, 1979, charter-member Gonzaga left the league and was replaced by the University of Nevada. In 1987, Eastern Washington was admitted to the league to create the first version of a nine-member Big Sky Conference. The University of Nevada’s departure in 1992 moved the league to eight members until July 1, 1996 when Boise State and Idaho left, but the addition of Cal State Northridge, Portland State and Sacramento State moved the league into a nine-member group for the second time. Beginning in 2001-2002, the composition has changed yet again, as Cal State Northridge exits and the league is back to eight members.
Sorry chumps, get your facts straight!! :evil:
