That's fine, FBS isn't on the table.

That's only true if it's an FBS WAC. (It's not.) But if the Great Northern Conference gets going, the California schools might be interested--it's a nicer "neighborhood" than the directional "trailer park" the Big Sky would be left with--Northern Arizona, Southern Utah, Weber STate, Northern Colorado, Idaho State, Portland State, plus the California schools.

Without the California schools, it would be 7 flagships-and-landgrants, ritzy private Denver, UN-Omaha, maybe UMKC, plus Oral Roberts, Fort Wayne and Western Illinois--and Eastern Washington, apparently. (You can't really kick existing schools out, sorry.) That's already 14, with 9 for football. MAybe you have room for the Big West football schools as affiliates, if they want to hobnob with flagships instead of directionals.

EDIT: I forgot things. Like IUPU-Fort Wayne existing, EWU being a possible member of the Great Northern league, and Western Illinois having football.
