Boise State and University of Nevada may be part of a conference that when it comes to college football is seen as less than stellar. But this week Boise State, Nevada, and the WAC (Western Athletic Conference) did something that not many collegiate athletic organizations would, they stood up to sports powerhouse, ESPN. On November 1st after the Fresno State game EPSN wanted Boise State to move it's game with San Jose State to a later time and then they would broadcast both the San Jose and Nevada games. ESPN wanted the Nevada game moved to Friday November 24th instead of on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Boise State, Nevada and the WAC thought this was a bad idea and they did not cave. It shows that even though Boise State and the WAC love the ESPN coverage, they are not going to let them dictate what they should do. When Boise State goes undefeated and get a BCS bowl bid ESPN will be begging to get all the coverage they can.
