FCS Realignment

[AZGrizFan]

Yes, it’s ’Scat/Griz week, and for the first time in what seems like a LONG time, the BSC will have a true champion and not some mythical “shared” title…but how long can this shitshow go on? And the same with the MVFC with potentially FIVE teams ending the season at 7-4 because they don’t all play each other?

Why can’t the powers that be just make three conferences out of the two bloated conferences and be done with it?

High Line Conference (Or Snowbelt, as Andrew Schmidt so aptly named it)…Or even keep the Big Sky moniker…
UM
MSU
Idaho
Weber State
Idaho State
NDSU
UND
SDSU
USD

Great West Conference (Or Island of Misfit Toys Conference)
PSU
EWU
Sac St
Davis
NAU
Cal Poly
UNC
*Utah Tech
*SUU

MVFC
UNI
YSU
SIU
ISU
WIU
Missouri State
Murray State
Indiana State
*SEMO

Yes, it would take a couple other teams moving as well, but it needs to happen.

Because realignment at this level isn't only about football.

Montana recruits West Coast, and getting games there is a great plus. How many fans were in Portland last night watching former Oregon high school stars. Plenty I would bet. Playing in the Dakotas doesn’t help our recruiting

With that alignment, the Snowbelt gets 5 bids, maybe 6 to the playoffs every year.
