Conference realignment talks hit the Mountain West

[Dillon]

It will happen just a matter of when! We have the stadium and facilities, as does the cats, both teams are doing well now. The future is bright. Just hope our country stays our country!

What we think about tiers: DI FBS, DIFCS, DII, DIII

What is the truth: P5, G5, FCS, DII, DIII

So, as I see it, if we want to maintain our status in the second tier of college football, we will need to move up now and then let the NCAA reclassify the tiers. Let the top tier have their shitty bowl series, and we'll take the G5 and the top current FCS teams and create another tournament.

And what most CFB fans think:
P5, G5, DII, DII

It's not that people are scared of change, it's that we want to play for something meaningful and IMO a national championship is more meaningful than a bowl game even if it is in the FCS. I've said this time and time again as soon as the G5 gets a playoff system let's go, because that's just all of our old friends from the FCS and I actually think we would be able to compete quite well. Let me pose this question to you. Let's say the Griz moved up next year and joined the Mountain West, and say for example we're going 8-4 or 9-3 consistently each year and the best we can do is keep qualifying for the Las Vegas Bowl. Do you think some season ticket holders are gonna start to lose interest and not renew? Because I think they will. The fans like making deep playoff runs and competing for a championship. You would think UM would want to keep people happy so they can continue to have a high amount of season ticket holders and QB club members. Let's see how the rest of this conference realignment plays out. We don't need to make any rash decisions right now. This will sort itself out and we will see if it gets to a point where the G5 does split off and goes it's separate way.

You are underestimating how much more interesting it would be for fans to have BSU, USU, Wyoming and CSU coming into WG than Dixie St., SUU, UNC, N. AL, and Butler. You are also overestimating how interesting it is to see teams you have never heard of in the FCS playoffs; the attendance figures speak for themselves.

Hard to believe that some of these folks would rather see Dixie State or Northern Colorado in our stadium than Wyoming and Utah State!!

I always get the impression that FBS fans think this: P5, G5, NDSU, JMU, sh!t...
