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

That’s cuz the Griz already have an exceptionally high number of in state players for being from a small football state.

Well considering we have 30 Montana guys currently and the last time we won a natty, we had close to 50, one might say maybe more Montana is the answer. I wouldn't expect someone who isn't from Montana to understand that though.

I'm from MT and I don't understand it. A lot has changed since we last won a natty.

Thats cus you're not from Montana.

I'm from MT. I care more about winning than how many MT high school players are on the roster.

I wouldn't say that there's a strict correlation between more Montana players on the roster = higher national championship odds. We had over 50 Montana players on the roster in 2007, 2008, and 2009, and those didn't get us championships.

Good for you. Are you also an AI?

Im not being serious, just argumentative.

Montana State just won the FCS with 44 players from Montana high schools. It works for FCS but won’t work for FBS.

Could be worse, they could have a bunch of Trans people getting topless and/or exposing themselves on the front lawn in front of children.

You mean what you see on Flathead Lake every weekend during the summer?

Back in my day you had to go to the Fox Club to see strangers going topless in Montana

And one could argue there are significantly less high school kids in Montana playing football now when compared to the last time a National Championship trophy was lifted.

Let you in on something...I won't work with zero Montana high school players on either UM or MSU roster in FBS.
