Future Scheduling

Sadly this is the future of FCS football. At this point, Carroll, Western Montana, MSU Northern, and Rocky should all join the Big Sky Conference. Why not? There are so many other programs moving up it would make sense. Heck we could have the Montana Division. Think of the money the Montana Schools would save? All they would have to do is travel by bus.

They would play all division games with one inter-conference game and one out of conference (Money) game with a 13th game being the Big Sky Conference Championship.

Big Sky East :
  1. University of Montana
  2. University of Montana-Western
  3. Montana State University
  4. Montana State University Northern
  5. Carroll College
  6. Rocky Mountain College
  7. Montana Tech
  8. Weber State
  9. UNC
  10. Lewis & Clark State College
Big Sky West
  1. Idaho
  2. Idaho State
  3. NAU
  4. UTU
  5. Eastern Washington
  6. Central Washington
  7. Western Washington
  8. Portland State
  9. Eastern Oregon
  10. Western Oregon

That looks exciting. They could cover all the empty stands in a couple sections at WaGriz with a big Town Pump or Lucky Lils banner for extra income.

That was the point of the post with all of the "quality" programs moving up to the FCS with the latest being
Chicago College of Kids Who don't Read Well
Mercyhurst
Charleston Southern
East Texas A&M
Lindenwood
Merrimack
St. Thomas
North Alabama
Stonehill
Utah Tech
UTRGV

Why shouldn't these other schools move up too since it's all about money. The alternative isn't getting any better with all of these scrub schools moving into the FCS.

There would not be any empty stands because they will presell all the tickets for every game and you will need to pay extra to even get a ticket. Do you really think people want to watch the shitty teams UM brings in now ?

Western WA gave up playing football years ago.

Yes, fans do want and do watch. The schedule is good. Don’t make teams, exaggerate or cherry/pick.

The only reason the fans go to the crappy games now is because they have no choice. Fans are basically stupid. If they would stay away from the crappy games the AD would have no choice but to bring in more interesting teams instead of using the fans to fund their programs like they do now.
 
We need to get away from scheduling pioneer league and D2 schools, I don’t know what league sacred heart is in but we can leave that out as well. Throw in Dixie state/Utah tech/SUU, whatever those schools call themselves while we are at it. I cant watch those games, it’s boring and uninspiring.

If we could leave behind Portland state and Northern Colorado that would be outstanding, imagine playing a couple of competitive schools that actually give a s*** instead.

D2 and the Pioneer league will come here without UM having to travel to them as well. The amount of money that UM makes with home games, which are usually sell outs against D2 or Pioneer League opponents, is why UM schedules them. Scheduling better competition means less home games. Since the stadium fills up in the regular season regardless of the competition, scheduling better teams with more home and homes is a losing proposition financially for UM.

Your post continue to get more and more useless.

So you are pretty much done with Griz football?

Not true. No one has to go to a game. The AD tries to balance and maximize revenue and profit with good competition. Early season games and D2 games are well-attended.
