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

Didn’t they sell pieces of the old turf in 2016?
Pretty sure they did in ‘08 or ‘09 as well

Biggest FCS Football Operating Budgets (FY25)
Dive into FCS football budgets for fiscal year 2025 and see how various schools rank based on their financial allocations.
herosports.com
For the FCS, South Dakota State led the way in FY24 at $9,620,366. However, Montana State’s football budget increased by $4,530,140 in FY25, moving from $8,847,642 to $13,377,782 to sit atop the subdivision in FY25. Montana State had a bigger football budget in FY25 than 20+ FBS teams, including teams like Northern Illinois, Wyoming, and UTEP.
Is MSU better prepared to move to the MWC.

I have some hope with a Boise State guy coming in he will be alot more aggressive with the State BOR and work with MSU to ensure both of us get into the MWC come the Realignment shenanigans of the 2030s, even if as Football only options.Biggest FCS Football Operating Budgets (FY25)

I cross-posted this to the FCS Football Budgets thread.
I know NDSU is no longer FCS but I think it's relevant to this thread. I was told by a person who is in the know in NDSU athletics that they had to go to the MW to sustain revenues. I was told NDSU athletics is funded entirely by donors and donors were getting tapped out. NDSU had to go to the MW in football so they could sustain their athletic programs.

This is why NDSU left and why schools are positing themselves to leave FCS.

Makes you wonder why the U wants to stay but for whatever reason, they obviously do.

Tax filings: ACC paid average of $47.1M to full-share member schools, Big 12 paid average of $39.5M
The Atlantic Coast Conference and Big 12 reported record revenues for the 2024-25 sports season, though those lag behind massive gains for their Big Ten and Southeastern Conference peers.

Big 12 pays their members an average of $39.5m. Mountain West programs are peasants in comparison.
We made this move yet, or what?
Remind me of when we were invited into the Mountain West?

Never but can you say we're actively trying to get invited? I'd say thats a hard no.

To the majority of the country the MWC is the equivalent of D2. Is that what the Griz should be striving for?
