If they get just a few more teams it's probably enough to survive and the NCAA probably would've let them trudge along with 5-6 members until they could build back up.
They needed Montana to move up. That would have gotten the moveup dominoes going in the Big Sky. They just couldnt seal that deal.
Good point.
If they had gotten Montana then Montana St, Eastern Washington, and other would have been right behind.
I don't know that anyone outside the WAC commissioner's office really thought those schools should be in FBS.
Look at ticket sales, donations, ability to raise enough money to have a competitive FBS program.
Based on these statistics (from USA Today's data), why would anyone recommend that this school move to FBS?
