Article today in the Missoulian on the schedule. The University is really into padding the Hauck family statistics.

UM Football Only BSC Team not Playing an FBS Opponent in 2025
- Thread starter indiancoyote
- Start date
If the Griz were to play an FBS opponent Hauck would be paid $75000.00 and each assistant an additional $2500.00. This could support to both play or not play FBS opponents. Makes
It is made up partially by playing additional home games ($50000.00) bonus to play 7 or more home games. This helps many businesses in Missoula and probably has more to do with the scheduling from community meetings I have attended.

Then the businesses should be funding the NIL.

We should win more than so we have more home playoff games.
We are. Are you???

No, businesses aren't.
NDSU and SDSU aren't playing FBS teams next year either. Shouldn't you criticize them too?
Doesn’t fit his narrative
The only time it makes sense for the Griz is if it is a big enough team to matter for exposure, like we got against Washington and came away with the win. There is no benefit to us in taking a game against, for instance, a New Mexico State. As others have mentioned, home games are good for the whole community.
Do you have absolutely ANYTHING that you can share that would back that up? Because we have seen players doing commercials and activities with businesses in the community that are public facing NIL opportunities from local businesses. This is just a really weird, verifiable lie.
Yes, we are.
"The second positive is that this is now two years in a row that Montana has been able to bring back its single biggest transfer target. Both Bergen last year and Gillman this year were certainly receiving interest – and NIL offers – from FBS schools. Both times, Montana was able to put together an offer good enough to get them to stay." From Skyline Sports

Congratulations to UM for being in a position where they don't need to sell their soul for dollars.
Remarkable program and fanbase. And thanks for the post by Indianbubcat for reminding us. We often take what we have for granted.

Pretty sure he isn't actually a local or very involved, so he doesn't even see the local TV commercials the Griz are on. Heck, Riley Wilson is still showing up for local jewelry companies. Don't know what business you have, but thanks for the support you give the kids. Feel free to dm me your business name if you are a retail company, I'll make sure to shop with you first.

UM is into maximizing home game revenue, and makes more money off of a home games than FBS games. Sometimes way more. UM and Bobby has stated a number of times that they like to play FBS games at least every 4 years, so that all players get a taste of playing an FBS game. Smaller stadiums with lower ticket price places, like MSU, can't make as much home game revenue. They need more big FBS games for revenue purposes.

Maybe they are. They help fund UM athletics.

UM has had a many home playoff games in the past 2 years as the Cats have. And UM's attendances were much higher.
I second that. I wonder if Good Ol' Grizzlies can or already has listed contributors on its webpage. Without giving out contribution amounts as that should remain tightly controlled for obvious reasons.
Yeah. THAT’S why we aren’t playing an FBS team. I’m now certain of it.
