Idaho May Reclassify As Big Sky FCS School In Wake Of WAC Explosion

The death of the WAC left some schools in limbo, and one of those schools is Idaho. The Vandals have to decide whether to remain an FBS team or move to the FCS Big Sky Conference. Today, Idaho AD Rob Spear spoke and made it seem as if the decision was up in the air.

Spear on the most ideal situation from what's available now "I'm not sure I can tell you what's available now."

Asked if there's a rush to improve facilities in wake of conference news, Rob Spear says, "There should have been a rush 20 years ago."

It's unclear what's going to happen to Idaho, but Vandals fans can't be too thrilled with being abandoned by their conference and having nowhere to go.

That said, Robb Akey has his mind set:

While Spear said #Idaho will explore FCS, he added coach Akey wants to be a coach at an FBS institution. #Vandals
