Butler University is the talk about the basketball world as they have reached the Final Four in their home city of Indianapolis. They have an excellent chance against Michigan St. their semi-final opponent. Needless to say they have been a solid basketball program for many years now, and I wouldn’t be surprised if they figure out a way to win this year’s Title. If things get crazy this summer and a school, say Rutgers leaves the Big East, the conference could invite Butler to join. This would be awesome for basketball, and since Butler doesn’t have D1 football team, the door would be open for Boise St. to join as a football only school. Yes Boise St. and even with them being in Idaho, it's not a problem from a football standpoint.
You figure that's four trips a year for them to a Big East school, which will give them alot more exposure. It's only 1 trip a every two years for Big East Football Teams so doesn't seem to be a problem either. It certainly would let Boise St. prove it on a bigger stage. I think fan interest would be high, as even the casual college football fan would be interested in how Boise St. does in the Big East. This also adds two of the most famous venues in college sports with Hinkle Fieldhouse and the Blue Turf. Now wouldn’t a Butler/Boise St. combo, make the Big East better and of course more interesting?
