This is another fantastic idea from your truly. Of course fantasyland, and would require Petrino leaving Idaho, but just for fun:
So we develop an unwritten relationship with Idaho, who is now floundering. Once-promising guys that aren't going to make it at WSU (let's use Neville as an example) can slide over to Idaho and get a scholarship and compete there. Borderline recruits and preferred walkons too. They come to WSU knowing they have a chance to make it, but have a place to land if they don't. They don't even have to move or lose all their WSU friends.
On the flip side, if some underrated gem emerges at Idaho, we can snag him.
