Title: Gene Bleymaier fired by Boise State

Wow, has the wheels run off of our media darling? Here's the team with the "cream puff" schedule that should be in the BCS every year, firing their AD, and have their State politicians trying to get laws passed to assure this team of their "rightful place" with the big boys, cleaning house. Maybe there's a reason for all of their success!  ;)

Same with Orrin Hatch of Utah. I guess since congress has such high approval ratings...

This AD and program was really out of control.


The university's 1,500-page response to the NCAA details a series of "secondary" violations by football staff during a four-year period. During that time, coaches arranged for incoming players to get cheap transportation, meals and housing during voluntary summer workouts. The report states 63 prospective players received those benefits, valued at less than $5,000.

Besides the football team, the men's tennis program and women's track and field programs have committed similar secondary violations. The university is cutting scholarships and imposing recruiting restrictions for track and field and reducing practices and eliminating bonuses in 2011 and 2012 for the head men's tennis coach.
