Why, because the MWC covets the Sacramento market. Missoula market doesn't make the MWC all tingly.

UC Davis doesn’t have the regional rivalries in the Big Sky that Montana does. 3 Big Sky opponents are short road trips away. The Mountain West also has a desire to expand their footprint in California more so than Montana.
are you talking football.

I don’t disagree with the Missoula aspect, but if they coveted the market they would have taken Sac State this year wouldn’t they have? I think they do covet a piece of the California market which is why bringing an academic institution like Davis along slowly makes a ton of sense.

Why take a headache like Sac St when you get the same thing from Davis? Davis is a more stable option.

Market size matters. Until it doesn't because no one watches.

This was the failed Foolerton Experiment with Portland and Denver. Had half a million people in those markets watched, it might have been a sound decision. Same thing with Sac.

Problem is, not even 30,000 watched, and advertisers quickly took notice. Because the only thing they care about is viewership. Which is why Montana is greatly positioned for a move to the FBS. They have a long and proven track record of eyes on games.
 

DRF is reportedly potentially choosing to leave or being pushed out from her position at the UofA following all the rumors with Tommy Lloyd men’s basketball coach. Is Kent Haslam going to be a candidate for Arizona? If Haslam leaves UM for a bigger school who or what characteristics would you like to see in our next AD?

No chance at Arizona. It’s being reported a sitting FCS AD has interviewed for the NAU AD job

Haslam’s salary at UM is $240,000, NAU AD was making a little less than that and DRF is making $1,000,000. It’s obvious the job that has a team that went to the Final 4 is better than the other 2. I’m not sure that NAU would be an upgrade over UM. Their football facilities are a downgrade in comparison to UM’s.
 
DRF almost pushed Tommy Lloyd away after reaching the Final 4 he was ready to go to North Carolina which would be why she is probably leaving. I haven’t heard of Kent Haslam causing any UM coaches to leave due to being difficult to work with. Do you know of any?
