The FBS Big Sky scenario usually includes the Dakota schools.

Maybe Idaho ,EWU,UND and the Montana schools could join the Summit instead.
That is if rules are changed and schools are allowed to move up.
The Summit could get raided and be in jeopardy since they have nine members.
Losing two would allow the Summit to invite five and retain its auto bid in basketball.

UNI and U Mass would be football only candidates.

UND
NDSU
SDSU
USD
Montana
Montana ST
Idaho
EWU included because they are aggressive and funding stadium expansion.

Omaha and Denver would be ideal Olympic only sports members.


Besides the obvious rules changes ( save that argument the scenario is based on rules being changed) does it make sense? Compared to the BSC split with members joining the WAC. The WAC could take the Summits non football schools to pair with UMKC and Chicago ST. The MVFC could take any member staying FCS.

Travel is not great in this part of the country but this would be an improvement for most.
