The Boise State Broncos will host the UT Martin Skyhawks in 2013, according to UTM’s official website.
UT Martin will travel to face Boise State at Bronco Stadium on Sept. 21, 2013. The game will be the first ever between the two schools.
The Broncos now have four non-conference games scheduled for the 2013 season. Boise State also hosts Southern Miss (Sept. 28) and travels to Washington (Sept. 7) and BYU (Oct. 26).
Unless the Broncos cancel one of their previously scheduled games, it appears they will play an 8-game conference schedule in 2013 when they join the Big East.
But due to the loss of West Virginia to the Big 12, rumors persist that the Big East is trying to entice the Broncos to join the conference in 2012.
Earlier this month, BSU President Bob Kustra had this to say in response to joining the Big East in 2012:
“It’s too late. I can’t imagine how anyone can pull that off. We would never want to pull it off in a fashion that dealt shabbily with our existing partners in the Mountain West. I don’t think that could ever work.”

WHY?!?!?! UT Martin, really?! Nice scheduling move new AD. WTF.
Yeah, UT Martin? I've never even heard if them before. I was hoping that the Broncos could have continued moving forward, not backwards.
Yea.....WTF?? Is that a new fly reel or a new rod?? What in the hell is a UT anyway? And where/what/who/when or how is a Martin?? This is not the time to give some really unknown a leg up.
Get ready for the poorest attendence at a BSU football game this decade...
thought we were gonna play michigan state?????????
BSU plays Michigan State in 2012, 2022 and 2023.
whats with all the complaints? every other school does this every year. Its not like they are lined up with suitors willing to come to Boise and lose by 40.
@Brett they are adding seats I predict this game will have higher attendance than any game that has been played at Bronco Stadium previous to today.
You know, the big schools used to complain about having to play "no-name" Boise State. Just sayin' BSU fans...never underestimate your opponent...don't forget where we've come from. We blue-collar teams know better, don't we?
I don't see what the big deal is. Lots of teams schedule a game against an FCS school. In the 2012 season, LSU has Towson on their schedule, Oklahoma has Florida A&M, and Wisconsin has Northern Iowa. For Boise State, 2013 will be a big year for them as they start competing in the Big East. Yes, its not the SEC or Big Ten, but it is a step in competition from the Mountain West. So on top of the other non-conference games against Southern Miss, BYU, and Washington, they'll have conference games against San Diego State, Houston, Southern Methodist, Louisville, Memphis, and 3 Eastern Division schools (either UConn, Rutgers, UCF, USF, or Cincinnati). Nothing really to sneeze at.
It's their one FCS game. Most respected FBS school has one on their schedule.

Pretty good schedule I think...
Quit fussing, its their FCS game they play every year. Almost every other FBS teams play an FCS team once.
"Almost every other FBS team" also plays a much more difficult conference schedule. Boise's conference foes are most generally a joke.
