While we are all aware that “football pays the bills” the goal for each school is to have an athletics department that is well-rounded in its success. A measure of that success is the fine folks at the Learfield Directors Cup. This measures the achievements of each school in a respective sport in the post-season and awards points accordingly. The Directors Cup is a good indicator for how well each school is investing in their “other” sports. From coaches, facilities, and athletes.
How Boise State measures against other schools allows us to see if the school is “directionally correct” in how they are managing their resources.
