I am all for it. If you read this tweet, it would appear that there's a chance that it could happen.

Fullerton: Idaho, New Mexico St. out there as possible 14th Big Sky football members. Only when time is right. #BigSkyKickoff
Perusing ESPN, they touched on this subject as well. Hey the more the merrier right? I am sure that our comrades to the south will find a way to malign this move. Whatever! To each his own.
Lynn DeBruin, AP Sports Writer -- The Big Sky definitely wants Idaho to become its 14th football-playing member, joining regional schools Idaho State, Eastern Washington, Montana and Montana State.
Commissioner Doug Fullerton said the Big Sky may be part of the Football Conference Subdivision, formerly known as Division I-AA -- but he argues that it wouldn't be a step down for Idaho.
He said the Idaho Vandals would become stronger in the FCS than at the bottom of the FBS "because they will become successful."
As for the WAC, Fullerton wasn't as optimistic. He said he can envision it disappearing completely in one year, or playing only basketball -- but would be surprised, "barring major help," if it remains an FBS conference.
