Akey: UI May Go Independent

Idaho football coach Robb Akey said the Vandals are considering independence as a way to keep their program’s Football Bowl Subdivision options open. Idaho is one of two football-playing schools left in the decimated Western Athletic Conference. New Mexico State is the other. “We’ve been trying like a son of a gun to find a home. The best place for us would be the Mountain West. They don’t want us right now. I understand all those things. Hopefully, it’s going to re-allocate. I would expect there would be a change again in a couple more years,” Akey told the Idaho Statesman on Tuesday. “I wouldn’t be surprised if we end up having to operate as an independent for a few years. We’re just looking for a home, my brother”/ Rob Murphy , Idaho Statesman. More here.
