You’re right. We should definitely keep sticking to filling our home slate with D2’s. Now that we lost sac state and likely won’t be scheduling them as well as adding the utah schools, the options for non-conference FCS teams is getting slim out west.

You have to keep the whole slate interesting or you’re going to stop selling tickets at the prices they want. Are you excited about the home non-con slate this fall? It’s essentially a 10 game conference slate that won’t be counted as such, as in the future 2 of those 3 will be counted as conference games.

Scheduling matters, and they are built way ahead of time. Considering the Ivy schools took 2 slots last year and Yale made some noise and other Ivy schools are now investing in their football programs to be competitive, it will matter more and more moving forward.

We’re playing a Pac12 team this year

For the first time in half a decade. With a 12 game schedule every year we have plenty of other slots to fill. What’s our home non-con slate? We play an FBS once every 3-4 years. Seems on years we don’t we play an FBS we play down to a D2 school which doesn’t help us out come playoff seeding.

We’re probably going to see more non scholarship FCS opponents in Missoula that don’t require home and home

Oh shit. Hide the women and children. Hoops is 'bout to break out a can of Ivy League whoopass on 5280Griz. Unless as 'bama said, 5280Griz is Hoops AI agent designed to create an argument.

All im saying is he feeds PR's debate desire in a slow off season and most all of his posts are common knowledge with 80% accuracy. Where there's smoke, there's fire😁.

With how revenue share is affecting programs scheduling a FBS each year should be looked at, UM is getting a good payday for playing Oregon State. When the MWC invites 1/2 more FCS schools in next couple years your non conference options gets smaller.

Giving away home games to play the FBS on the road is not something UM typically does.

I get it, been to some games and the atmosphere is amazing but will you get fan fatigue down the road playing D2 and low level FCS schools at home. With 12 games on the schedule there's not enough good options. In today's revenue sharing world, one pay day maybe worth it. What's the revenue for a home game vs Drake or Central WA vs playing Oregon St, WSU or Wyoming.

Harvard may as well be a D2 school where football is concerned.

If the fans and the UM powers that be want to see the football program grow, they need to stop playing D2, trash FCS & FBS programs and STRICTLY schedule 2 non-conference home & away games every year with FCS blueblood or recent conference championship programs (within the last four years) such as USD/UND /SDSU/ 'Nova/Tarleton/Abilene Christian/SFA/ William & Mary.
