Joining the Mountain West would run an $8MM - $9MM annual deficit - can we overcome that?

Now we're playing LSU! You really are smoking the good stuff!The trade off could be 1 to 4 playoff games at the FCS level or as an FBS team you could try and schedule a p4 team in the non- conference schedule like and USC, Oregon, Or somebody like LSU at their place.
If you do well enough to get a bowl game and play against a Michigan, or Tennesse or another p4 team like that in a destination city what would you choose? ..
My choice is obvious..
You do realize for the last 5 years LSU has scheduled either a g6 or fcs team at least once sometimes twice in the same year.. you are truly clueless..
Some over here have absolutly no idea how p4 teams fill out their schedules ..

The Griz have already played the SEC Tennessee Volunteers, the Washington Huskies twice and the Oregon Ducks as an FCS team recently. They like playing these type of games roughly once every 4 years to give the players one experience of playing in front of 50,000 plus in their Montana career.
Army, Georgia State, New Mexico.just too name a few..

Are you suggesting the Griz should play more games like this one?
I feel like the $7.50 increase estimate for seat pricing is very conservative. Think of the away teams fans who would be thrilled to come to Montana for a game. Which fans are willing to pay a premium to come visit Missoula for a football game, Northern Colorado and Portland state, or San Diego state and NDSU?
And us Montana fans, instead of watching Northern Colorado, sacred heart, and Portland state, we get to watch our Griz go up against Hawaii, NDSU, Jeff Coates Nevada….a $7.50 increase seems cheap as chips when that’s considered.

Today I had a good conversation with some folks from Sacramento. They're in town because their grandson is in the wrestling tournament.
We talked about the Sac move up. From what they said, the Sacramento State administration expects the move up to increase revenues and more than pay the costs to join.
It would be interesting to see if there is a SSU financial analysis available.

If UM moved up, the ticket price increases would be alot more than $7.50. Do fans in the MW travel much to follow their teams? I don't know.
Wyoming fans would.

Yup, but who else travels well or would travel to Missoula. One schools doesn't define a conference. I know I sure wouldn't travel to Wyoming to watch a game.

This is what AI says about SS donations to athletics last year:
"For the most recent fiscal year (FY25), the university reported less than $600,000 in total athletic department donations.This figure represents the actual realized donations to the department, rather than "pledges" or "commitments."
The fundraising landscape for Sacramento State football is currently defined by three distinct categories:

NDSU travels well and would travel to Missoula, the others probably not so much. New Mexico and UNLV are both doing better than they have in a long time so their fans might travel more than they have in the past.
Really not sure of the rest. UNLV and New Mexico are more basketball schools. Travel would be fun to Wyoming, UNLV, USAF. The only schools that bring anyone now in Big Sky are Eastern, Idaho and the Cats. So it is probably not a significant difference on who would travel to Missoula.
Why not? Did it in '14, should've won it, but no running game, gassed from the elevation. A bad weather delay.

UW not letting the Griz use their IPF during the extended lightning delay was Craig Bohl at his finest. I like Laramie as a destination and will definitely be visiting if the Griz return to play there.
