I think FBS ready schools that can compete are Eastern Washington, Northern Arizona, Montana, Montana State, North Dakota State, South Dakota, South Dakota State, Lamar, Idaho, Northern Iowa, Illinois State, Missouri State and West Texas A&M. I am looking at the strength of the schools for both football and basketball. Gonzaga will not join if Eastern Washington is there. Not sure if the Big Sky will join because Montana, Montana State, Idaho and Northern Arizona have been burned by Gonzaga in the past when they were a member. The three Dakota schools, Missouri State and Northern Iowa would jump to join the MWC if Gonzaga and Saint Mary's is there. MWC is still better at RPI than the conferences they are in.
