I just did a count of Idaho players on the 2015 football rosters for BSU, UI, ISU.
Here are the numbers:
BSU: 20
UI: 17
ISU: 32
While I don't necessarily root more for Idaho players, there is a view around Pocatello that ISU does not recruit Idaho kids. That is not the case. What is most important from a competitive advantage standpoint is that the UI playing FBS football helps ISU. As Mike Kramer stated in a Boise radio interview this summer, ISU has its pick of FCS caliber players in the state. The Boise Valley, in particular, seems like a new recruiting base for ISU that did not exist 20 years ago.
