ESPN even said Montana wanted in the FBS WAC.

Montana St then didn’t have a 15k seat stadium, but went in debt to expand. Both Montanas have elevated their FBS facilities since, for practice, training, and academics. Weber St has too. EWU is trying, but the progress is slow.

Idaho St doesn’t have money nor does Portland St for facilities. Sac St will go with Davis and Cal Poly to a new FBS WAC. California was really financially impacted by the 2009 recession so its schools were really reeling. But not now.

The new Summit will stretch from St Paul to Spokane and south to Denver and Ogden. NDSU, SDSU, UND, and USD aren’t living in the 1930’s anymore and they now have money. Omaha, Denver and St Thomas will be non-football members. The Montanas have wanted in a league with the Dakotas since the 1970’s, as all the states there have similar fan bases which actually care.

The Big Sky doesn’t offer the Montanas much of anything with the commuter schools.


You missed my point. I will restate it.

Quote:That's not happening BECAUSE that conference will need TV more than all the others, but networks will ask them to pay for TV time instead of the networks doing it. END OF SUBJECT.

This will not be an FBS conference unless the NCAA becomes worthless. It doesn't matter how many of these schools are ready. It matters only if this region finds a way to increase its population fivefold in short order, because otherwise, there's simply not enough TV sets. This all because television runs sports.
