USC athletic director candidate profile: Jeremiah Dickey, Boise State
This would be a disaster for Bronco athletics. It is because of Dickey that we have recovered from the Covid financial disaster in athletic department. He has found many funding sources, is spearheading the facilities financing/renovations, getting funds for coaches, NIL, so much more. BSU has to find the dollars to keep him, he is worth his weight in gold. Losing him will most likely keep us in G6 forever, say bye-bye to P5 invites. Everybody "hates" us and want to keep us out of P5, and very few P5 will play us, but they love to poach our athletic department for executives and coaches.

Quote from BSUaddict on May 29, 2023, 6:17 pmFan site so nothing really to write home on.... yet. I think he would be an extraordinary hire for any P5 school. My worry is if one of his old stomping grounds comes open (Baylor and Houston) or if a Pac 12 school like Washington or Wazzu open up soon. Mack Rhoades, the current Baylor AD, has been a name many have thrown out for serious consideration for the USC job. Rhoades was also a mentor to Dickey and with his prior experience there with Baylor, I see it very hard for him to turn it down. Gets him closer to home again being in Texas and potentially a "dream job" scenario. Obviously I don't know JD on a personal level but it seems that he loved Baylor and if presented the chance, would be a no brainer decision to take over the AD title. I hope we are able to keep him for a few more years. Would love to see his vision become more reality when we (hopefully) soon break ground on some of the athletic village blueprints he and the rest of the department came up with.
As far as the P5 invite stuff. Even with JD at the helm here we are still very far away it seems to being in consideration. Its not for his teams lack trying or effort though. We are in the unfortunate spot where people want to drag us for not having a big population or many tv viewers in our state when in reality compared to every other Group of 5 school, there is no better option than us. Everything the big media personalities try to use against us can be slapped right back into their face. But when we have the likes of UNLV and Colorado State generating more buzz on realignment than us it screams we are in a losing battle on that front. Control what we can and make the best of what we have and continue to dominate in multiple sports. The fan support the last 3 seasons under Dickey has been unreal and I only expect it to get better from here on.

Quote from BSUaddict on June 1, 2023, 9:39 amNot getting any love whatsoever. Granted SDSU and Memphis would be good adds for either conference. Not trying to diminish those 2 schools but the fact that we simply cannot get a mention anymore is baffling. The only mentions we get are people saying all the things that dont benefit us (which is funny cause like i said before, you can counter them with the same facts they try to use against us for the most part)
