Future Scheduling

It appears with the addition of two new league members and the permanent move to a 12 game schedule the Griz will have a number of games to schedule for the upcoming years. Utah tech is on the schedule as non league games for 26 and 27, it is highly likely that these games will also need to be replaced or perhaps they remain scheduled as two non counting league games if Utah Tech is not scheduled to be playing the Griz in 26 and 27.
 
I would guess that UM and Utah Tech will drop the series. First of all the Griz are not going to pay a conference opponent to come to WA Griz (2026) in a slot that would allow them to have another program come that may attract a better gate. It doesn't make sense. In 2026 UM is scheduled to play Sac State at WA Griz and I sincerely doubt that Sac State will keep that on the slate. I would guess Sac State with their "FCS is JV" attitude will do all they can to schedule Pack <10 and Mountain West schools. I can't see the Big Sky scheduling around Sac States schedule to try and get Utah Tech and Southern Utah into the mix of conference scheduling. 2027, while a little further down the road will likely change too. Utah Tech is scheduled to come to UM in both 26 & 27 and I just can't see Utah Tech or UM benefitting from the series.

It will not only affect Sac State, UM and Utah Tech for Non-Conference. Northern AZ is scheduled to play Utah Tech in 2026 and 2027. Southern Utah is scheduled to play Weber State in 26 and 27. The UAC also has their own problems now with more teams coming in and two leaving.

The Big Sky will have to scrap what they have set up and create a whole new schedule. I would guess that will open NC games up for the above mentioned programs.
 
BSC is going to a 9 game conference schedule, which means they will still have the same number of OOC games. Some teams will have some holes to fill, but not nearly as bad as you make it seem.

I don’t understand why we don’t go to more FBS schools. A lot of the Big Sky Conference seems to have FBS games annually where as at UM it is a 1 every 4 years occurrence.

Random FBS games don’t pay enough. A home game at Wa Griz brings in so much money that only the upper tier Power 4 teams could cover the buy, and after our last P4 game against UW, there aren’t many schools willing to pony up.

Not one Power 4 program avoids the Griz because of the Washington game.

Schedule any big12 team you can and even look at the acc, the have appetites for fcs game in week 0 and 1. Huge $$$$ payouts and the only results needed is kids get reps and program exposure.
 
They could help the exposure of the program by being strategic about FBS opponents, like if they want to recruit more Central Valley guys from California schedule a game at Fresno State.

That would lose in the range of $300,000 relative to a home game. That's a pretty hard gut punch to take in the name of "strategic."
