NDSU to MWC

[EverettGriz]

we need to live within our means

Yeah, because so many Mt West teams struggle to pay the bills....

Wyoming is struggling to pay their bills this year and Wyoming didn't have to pay $5 million to move up to FBS.

Also, once SDSU, MSU, Davis, Tarleton, etc. move up, we can probably string together some consecutive FCS National Championships! It’s a waiting game. Just a matter of time.

If we had an AD with vision we would have transitioned to D2 a decade ago. Imagine the championships we could have won.

Yeah but I have been to Laramie and Greeley and Wyoming is a lot cooler place to watch the Griz.

I have almost zero interest in watching FCS football at this point. It has lost nearly all its appeal to me.

 

[Griz til I die]

I would not be ok with a Football only invite to the MWC. The whole benefit I see in a move to the MWC is for Basketball and our Olympic sports. Basketball would benefit tremendously from being in the MWC. They are losing some heavy hitters to the PAC but they do still have New Mexico and now Grand Canyon. If the Griz were to get an invite to the MWC, then it has to be for all sports. Otherwise what’s the point?

Sweet Jesus I hope there’s a forthcoming announcement from UM that we too are joining. That’d be nice. Doubt it though

No way. Are you not paying attention?

Same could be said for G5 Football as well. If you’re not P5 then nobody really cares about you at this point.

Great. Then no need to post on egriz either.

Football only wouldn't work for UM or MSU. Where do your other sports go?

I would even lean P4 currently.

I enjoy watching good mid majors. It was real fun watching Eck turn the lobos into a respectable program this season. I still follow App state. I am a fan of Wyoming, and lived in Laramie for all the Josh Allen years. San Diego state is fun, and UNLV has been a nice surprise these last few years. James Madison and Boise I enjoy watching. But FCS? I literally only care to watch like 3 programs, and one of those is now gone. It’s a pretty lame division. It already was, but now it’s downright terrible. Im fortunate to have grown up cheering for Alabama. My mother and aunts, uncles, cousins, grandparents etc are all crimson tide alumni. Having a horse in that race is fun, but the Griz were always my team. My alma mater.

How many schools are in the BSC for all sports but football? Not saying it isn't possible, but it is possible that isn't an option.

What about the Summit?

Yeah, it’s never been done before. Not exactly our strong suit.

 

[HelenaHandBasket]

If you can cover the increased expenses while trying to foot the bill for a FBS football move. That is of course they would want anything to do with adding.

Perfect time for the other schools to ransom the opportunity.

 

[GriznMN]

Yeah but I have been to Laramie and Greeley and Wyoming is a lot cooler place to watch the Griz.

I've been to both places and the only differences are UWyo has a bigger stadium and Greeley is a closer drive to the Denver Airport.

Sorry that’s what I meant. I’m still used to saying P5
