ASUN/WAC to FBS

The article indicates immediate expansion opportunities and four high level FCS programs in discussion.
I could see Weber, Sac, UCD and Poly all joining.

It seems pretty clear at this point that UM and MSU will be happy in whatever lower tier division the “FCS” becomes.

It’s sad really. You think about all the money on facilities etc to compete for a more watered down trophy. Shoot, that’s even if we compete. Right now this program is a mid tier BSC team at best. we are struggling to complete against programs that spend far less and have much less. I would love to see the days return where the Griz dominate. However, I just don’t see that being the case as much as I would like.

So then why not try and make the jump? Why wouldn’t the BSC and the MVFC align to go FBS? I think it would be far more competitive that the WAC ASUN.
I would rather be mediocre in that league and at FBS than in the BSC. We could at least have MWC teams travel to Missoula and Bozeman. Maybe even the occasional PAC whatever on say two for one games!

It just seems that if we don’t make some move. It’s going to get made for us in a negative way.

Oh, but we have the best head coach in all of FCS! Just ask mthoopsfan. We need need to be patient until he gets his players in place. RTD is just around the corner!

We just need to keep the no. 1 qb healthy.
