I just threw up a little bit. We might as well just drop back down to FCS as a conference

I don't like but accept the reasoning behind the idea that the Sun Belt is better off with 10 football schools. But if you guys kick out a school that went bowling last year and is about to go again this year and then turn around and call up FCS schools you all need your heads examined.

It's not going to matter for Idaho one day. The WAC is going to bring back football, or some other western conference is going to form in the future. The only place an FCS school can move up to out West is the MWC, and there is no room.

There's going to come a day when schools like North Dakota State, South Dakota State, Eastern Washington, and Montana will want to make a move to FBS. Idaho and NMSU could potentially be involved in that scenario. The only option is to go to the MWC (which won't happen), revive WAC football and be invited there, or create some sort of new Big Sky Conference in FBS.

Maybe. Montana doesn't actually have a lot of incentive to change what they're doing and EWU is already operating at just about the top of their range. But I do believe there aren't enough FBS conferences in the west and at some point another one will form. I just don't know when that might be. I'd guess it's at least 5-7 years away.
