Well, the conference commissioner is pretty clear that he thinks bigger is better, and I suspect his opinion carries more weight with the Big Sky member school presidents than the football coaches’ opinions do.

In my view this article pretty much puts to rest the rumor that the Big Sky is working with the WAC to spin off some of the Big Sky football programs into a new WAC-sponsored FCS league. The Big Sky has historically viewed the WAC as a threat to its vision of being the only western D-I football alternative to the Pac-12 and MWC and it looks like that hasn’t changed.
