They get more to travel because they don't get a home game in return. Boise should either get equal home games or more $$$.

Big boy teams don't get as much money as cupcakes. For example, in 2008 Virginia Tech traveled to Nebraska. Nebraska paid VT $300,000. San Jose State and Western Michigan also traveled to Nebraska, but each of them got $800,000.

I can give you countless examples of how big boy teams don't get the same $$ as cupcakes.

Boise State can't ask for more money and then claim to be a big boy.
