State needs give more subsidies. Start writing the state senators. Tv contract in MWC is around 8mil compared to a whole 100,000 we get now. Bring ticket prices up a little more. Play a Big 10 or a SEC team. NCAA tournament money. Pretty sure we could figure out the finances. We should have moved up 10-15 years ago. Need to stop making excuses for not moving up. We would be competitive in the MWC already. We have the facilities. We are going to get left behind and not have the chance if we don’t express interest. I don’t no if we are showing interest or not. Just doesn’t seem like we are. If we aren’t I almost guarantee we are going to watch the Dakota schools, N Arizona, and Sac move up without us. UV Davis would be right behind Sac St if they moved up. If Idaho got another shot I am sure they would take it. So at that point who are we playing? Who is the competition? It’s one thing if we don’t get an invite. It’s another if we turn down an offer again.

The Pac-12 officially has its seventh member.
Utah State will be joining the Pac-12 on July 1, 2026, it announced Tuesday night, becoming the fifth Mountain West school to defect to the rebuilding conference
So they have 7 and the Mountain West looks like a shit box waiting to get flushed to the septic tank.So now what?

No, you didn't answer these questions. I know you saw them, because you responded to this post. See my last several sentences below.
"I played, started and was all-conference on an undefeated team that was ranked no.14 at the end of the season, and was ranked as the top team in the East ahead of Penn St. I am in an athletic hall of fame (not high school). I made my school's all 50-year team. Did you start? Were you all-conference? What was your team's top ranking at the end of a season? Who many athletic hall of fames are you in?

As others have pointed out, there was no P5 when I played, so I could not have played P5.
As my prior post said, you have not answered my questions. I can tell that you never got on the field.
You both lied and were also borderline dishonest. BOTH. I was trying to be nice to you.
Let's see your response to my questions.

Montana is making some money and not spending much money to do what it is doing, and now back at or near the top of the heap.

Oh absolutely but one can dream. Ironically with Utah State going to the PAC I'd have to bank on seeing the Griz in Laramie (would be awesome) or if they ever played at the Utes (would also be awesome). Was originally hoping to see the Griz every other year up in Logan.

It was always a long shot, but it's even longer now.
At least until the P4 split away and college football complete changes.

I personally think that with UNLV and Airforce staying in the MWC it still leaves the door wide open to EITHER the MWC or PAC. The PAC needs one more school and the MWC needs two full members. Unless Hawaii joins for all sports then just one.
I would honestly think you’re better to have a couple extra members just in the off chance one or more gets poached! I think both conferences will want to be at 12 members each… Gives a little security blanket.
Why would say the MWC just say hey UTEP and New Mex join us? Do they really gain anything with either? Same goes for the PAC.
I think there’s more value in UM, MSU, NDSU, SDSU than either of those two. What either the MWC and PAC have to offer is WAY more than we can get in the BSC or the MVFC.
I see us as a pretty hot commodity really. Tons of upside. Surely cheaper to get us with assisting us even than say paying 25 million dollar exit fees for an AAC team.
The MWC and PAC are both clearly showing the desire to stay as west coast conferences.
UM, MSU etc need to sell themselves just a little.
I’m thinking they have as we have heard NOTHING official from UM or MSU saying sorry we are just happy staying in the BSC. If they were they would have done so already. My guess is talks are taking place and dollars figured out. I think UNLV and Airforce staying in the MWC gives UM more assurance of a possible move.

I st
And yet, there is absolutely no evidence of you being in the Dartmouth football HOF. I asked you earlier what year you were inducted, and you said it was so easy to get into that you couldn't remember what year it happened. Really? A guy who loves to brag about his football accomplishments and posts them every chance he gets can't remember when he was inducted into his college HOF? And somehow you forgot to mention it in this thread. How about a little help finding it. You should be proud of being inducted into your local Native Sports HOF but it's not like you're in the national version...that would be much more impressive.

OMG! It's Doug Fullerton. Dude, you doxed yourself by your comments. It's the same approach you took when UM and MSU looked like they might move on(got poached)from the BSC. Only it didn't happen, and now the BSC is bloated with crap.

Every first team all conference player was deemed to be in the hall of fame when I played. We have our photos and blurbs all around the weight room. New players are added each year. Stop by the weight room sometimes. I also made the all 50-year team a number of years ago. This was a high honor. Was 1 of 2 corners of the 6 secondary players selected for the team. I also have a photo and blurb on the newer Wall of Fame in the Crouthamel Lounge in the football offices. The Lounge is on the 50 yard line overlooking the stadium. I never said I couldn’t remember anything about any of this. I generally haven’t discussed any of this except when asked or when defending myself.
