  Boise St. QBs suspended from Hawaii Bowl for urinating from balcony
  Boise State quarterback Joe Southwick says he was sent home from the team's trip to the Hawaii Bowl for something he didn't do. Both Southwick and fellow quarterback Nick Patti were suspended from the game for violating team rules, and while Southwick has been sent home, Patti has since been reinstated. On Sunday Southwick told KTVB in Boise that he'd been sent home for urinating off a hotel balcony, though Southwick maintains he did no such thing. Southwick says it was another Boise State player who did it, and that he witnessed the player doing it on Thursday evening. Southwick then found out he was being accused of doing it on Friday, and also admitted he lost his temper when he found out he was being sent home. "It just turned to finger pointing, and it ended up being three people against one person saying something," said Southwick. "And I guess the temper tantrum of one person didn't look good and there was no investigation. This was an absolute rushed decision, probably made in about 20 minutes." Southwick even took a polygraph test to clear his name, saying he wants to share the results of the test with Boise State coaches and administrators.

  When Boise State first accepted the Big East's invitation to join as a football-only member, in December 2011, the conference was a full-fledged BCS member set to unveil a 12-team league. With name-brand programs like Louisville and the Broncos, it was poised to capitalize on media markets like Rutgers' and Louisville's to cash in on a lucrative new television contract. Fast forward 12 months, and the Big East is officially a "have-not" in the forthcoming college football playoff. Louisville and Rutgers are gone,. The low-profile likes of Tulane and East Carolina have been added to preserve the two-division setup. The league might not be able to sign a TV deal worth even as much as the $1.4 billion contract that they turned down in 2011. So after the Broncos dragged their feet when it came to officially leaving the Mountain West for the Big East this past summer, it's no surprise that rumors have sprung up claiming Boise has been looking to return to its more geographically friendly digs in the MWC.
