Just wondering why the Big Sky didnt go after two B-Ball only schools, like Denver, and Seattle, after adding football only Poly, and Davis. Instead of adding out of region South Dakota, and lowly Southern Utah. They could have beat the WAC to get Denver, and with those four additions it would have definately made the Big Sky a better football and basketball conference! Just a thought, but the damage has been done!

Because they felt they had to protect the conference for the eventual departure of Montana (and perhaps others).

First of all it was out of region North Dakota :thumb:
Second, I think the Big Sky wanted Cal Poly and Davis as full members, but Davis and Poly didnt want to leave the Big West Hoops conf. So the Big Sky had no choice but to add them as football only members, to keep them from going to the WAC
Third, I dont think adding SUU will hurt the conf any more than Sac in hoops or ISU in football.
Fourth, I think the Big Sky should add Utah Valley as a hoops member only, they have said they would create a football team and a 20,000 seat stadium if a conference gave them a home, (they have also shown interest in joining the Big Sky before) so add them now have even hoops teams (12) and then they create a football team and then we have an even 14 team football conf
