Boise State president fuming over Gee's slam on Broncos, TCU in the BCS

[El Supremo]

COLUMBUS, OHIO — Boise State's president said his counterpart at Ohio State's claim that Big Ten and Southeastern Conference teams play a "murderer's row" schedule "is the greatest exaggeration I think we've heard this year in college football."

In an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday, Bob Kustra angrily responded to Ohio State President Gordon Gee's statement that TCU and Boise State don't deserve to be in the Bowl Championship Series title game even if they run the table.

Kustra said he it was hypocritical of Ohio State and all of the major BCS conferences to demean teams like Boise State. He said most of those conferences refuse to schedule his school.

"It's easy for the presidents to talk, but ask the ADs when's the last time that they seriously entertained taking requests or inviting Boise State to (play them)," Kustra said. "If you're Boise State or TCU, they're going to want to steer way clear of you." He said he had phone records that would prove that Boise State had tried to schedule home-and-home games with Top 25 teams from the BCS conferences, but that they would not play the Broncos anywhere but at their home stadium.

He also said that the SEC's Florida Gators have not left the state to play a non-conference, regular-season opponent since 1991.

All I know is if Boise or TCU don't get to play in the NC, this arguing will continue.

2. The height of hypocrisy.

We're better but let's keep the Bowl system. NO PLAYOFFS!! Whatever, Gordon.

3. Kustra can fume all he wants..

notice how he carefully avoids Gee's main point. Being that Boise plays in the Little Sisters of the Poor conference..otherwise known as the WAC. He expects some kind of credit for playing a conference schedule of Hawaii, Idaho, Louisiana Tech, New Mexico State, and San Jose State? What utter BS..
