Boise State has told the Idaho Statesman that the school is poised to join the Big West for most of its nonfootball programs. BSU President Bob Kustra says he has little doubt that Boise State’s membership in the Big West Confernce will be approved by the Big West's board of presidents, a vote that will take place before the beginning of the school year. This is the last year Boise State will compete in the Mountain West Conference and was considering a move for its nonfootball sports back to the Western Athletic Conference.
