Joining the Mountain West would run an $8MM - $9MM annual deficit - can we overcome that?

I do think 5280 has something. It will take a wealthy businessman to get behind the move up, develop a presentation and meet with a group of other wealthy businessmen. This is not a project for Kent Haslam.
How do the Bobcats feel about a move up? If positive, that would generate interest from the Governor.

This is the ONLY way a move up will happen here.

13,000 years ago. That's supports umpteenth generation.

"Native Americans and their ancestors have inhabited the land that is now Montana for at least 13,000 years, according to archaeological evidence. The history of habitation is generally divided into the prehistoric era (ancient ancestors) and the historic era (modern tribal nations).

Ancient Habitation (13,000+ Years Ago)​

The earliest confirmed human presence in Montana is tied to the Clovis culture.

The Anzick Site: Located near Wilsall, Montana, this is one of the most significant archaeological sites in North America. In 1968, the remains of a young boy (the "Anzick Boy") were found here alongside Clovis stone tools.DNA analysis in 2014 confirmed he lived approximately 12,700 to 12,900 years ago and is a direct ancestor to modern Native Americans.
  • Glacier and Yellowstone: Physical evidence of human use in the Glacier National Park area dates back over 10,000 years, while evidence in the Yellowstone Lake region shows continuous use for at least 11,000 years."

Player was a successful merger&acquisition attorney. He could likely bring together several executives who could have interest.

I don’t know how old they are, but I saw tribal prayer circles in the Big Horn Mountains. On that trip, a Crow tribal member told me about the Little People that live in the Pryor mountains.

I just had a discussion today with a young man why Mexicans, and more so most Spanish people have a similar look to Native Americans. And by similar, his definition was skin color. I guess he didn't quite understand just how many "other" people lived here before Europeans arived. Thank the rural Alabama education system for that.

I wouldn't be surprised if the original ancestors were in present day Montana far before 12,700 - 12,900 years ago. if my history is correct, the last Ice Age would've been about 13,000 years ago which would've wiped away any history of the original ancestors.

The financial advisors you know aren’t good enough to get there. Owning equity in a scalable firm leads to 9 figures and even billionaire status sometimes. My guess from being friends with his son is his net worth is somewhere from 150,000,000 to 200,000,000. A financial advisor that I am friends with here in Colorado is over 500,000,000 in net worth.

Equity in a financial advisor is based primarily on the revenue generated and book of business. It doesn't go up in value based on equity.

I last played football competitively less than 15 years ago. You last played football when teams threw for less than 30 passes a game. My education from UM has been just fine. I have a business that allows me to travel between AZ, CO, Billings/Red Lodge and Whitefish. Not enough potential clients in MT to live there full time. Your family member played a little football for the Griz, my family member played in the NFL. You are old and losing it to dementia or Alzheimer’s. I’m adopted but my birth family has been in Montana just as long as yours. My mom grew up in Sidney and Polson. My grandma on my dad’s side was born on Fort Peck and my ancestors through her have been in the Dakotas and Eastern Montana since the 1700s.

My non-Indian great grandparents came to MT in 1882 and about 1886, and started ranches. Big ones. How about yours?

Wealth as a financial advisor comes from owning your book and firm equity.

Again, revenue and book. Firm equity is mostly your percentage interest. Which ties to your book of business. Wealth isn't the right word. It's current income from the book of business. Former MSFT and former Nike big hitters don't support moving up, by the way. Nor does the guy who led the way to do the Hall of Champions. I assume the guy who backstopped the NEZ expansion years ago doesn't either. I know him quite well.

The 2 financial advisors I was referring to are principals of firms they have 100% interest in. For what it is worth I don’t support moving up right now either.
