So, what do you think he or the conference should do?

Who the eff cares WHAT they do?!?! Just get Montana into a conference where they belong.
I think everybody gets your point, but be honest if you were a fan of any mountain west team would the prospect of Montana joining your conference do anything for you? Gotta think there are a lot of other fbs teams that would draw more interest and bring more to the table than a fcs school. Do you think unlv, Colorado State or a team like new Mexico would be thrilled. Just honestly curious?
No, it's a fair question and I appreciate you asking it, 84.
Well, I don't believe they'd be throw-a-fucking-parade-excited to add Montana, necessarily. But why wouldn't those schools welcome a Montana over another low major (think MAC or Sun Belt)? We're geographically consistent, and a state flagship university. Our facilities are virtually on par with the MWC programs, and will be everything the equal when our IPL is completed. Our revenue is equal to the middle of the MWC already, and that doesn't include the additional television revenue we would get in such a conference. Our attendance in the revenue sports is every bit as good and in some cases exceeds that of the MWC programs.
So I would ask with all curiousness, where's the downside to them?
