It's not like all of these schools are clamoring to join a big conference either. Look at Notre Dame. They have a cake schedule, and have been asked to join competitive conference several times. They aren't interested because they can sit back with their exclusive NBC contract and not have to play hard schools all year.
As for KappaMD, Boise St could join one of those conferences if they wanted to, but they don't want to do it. There was a lot of talk this past year of conference expansion. If you want to play with the big guys, you have to have a comparable schedule...that includes playing comparable teams. They could play more competitive teams. All of the competitive schools have slots in their schedules to play non-conference teams. LSU played UNC and will be playing West Virginia this year. We played Virginia Tech last year and will play Oregon St in our season opener next year. It sure is easy to sit back with an easy schedule and complain while others have the tougher match-ups.
