"SJSU seems to have so many things going for it. Big city, big state, a state known with a rich football history and football talent."
All 27 of them.
They ALL almost committed simultaneous suicide when Hawaii got the bid to join the Mountain West and that conference told San Jose to go suck it.  They kept saying the Bay Area TV market alone would have merited an invitation. And they cited the Big city, big state, a state known for a rich football history and talent.  What they DIDN"T mention: SJSU has sucked and does suck at the actual playing football thing. It has a small stadium that seldom fills for games. They don't mention their egregious graduation rate but are quick to chant a list of excuses about how SJSU serves a different student body and should be cut some slack. In short, they focus on the BIG picture, sort of piggy-backing on Bay Area demographics and audience share. On what makes San Jose worthy of a bigger athletic stage...well, not so much detail. But, they're in the MW soon and McIntyre seems to know what he's doing as a coach. So, maybe they have turned the corner.
