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

“If institutions at this level aren’t willing to evolve how they operate commercially,” Belzer said, “the gap will continue to widen.”

For a subdivision built on tradition, regional identity, and deeply loyal fan bases, the next chapter may depend on something less familiar: a willingness to fundamentally rethink the business model that sustains it.
 
NAU’s football team has a lot more AZ high school players than UofA and ASU. Would you rather the Griz be in the Big Sky with more in state players or FBS with more players from California and Texas?

In the FBS, while the FCS has been fun most schools loose money, the FCS model is not geared towards revenue share and the best FCS schools are positioned to move up in the next 2/3 years, possibly leaving FCS in worse position. The FCS tradition doesn’t generate revenue that every school is trying to generate See the article by hero sports. In 6 years the FCS may not even exist.

I think the new president is going to bring the BSU model to the Griz. Maybe not this year but it’s coming.

That’s been the AD jobs the past 10 years. You believe the Griz get a fair shake in exposure and revenue in the BSC or deserve equal money to PSU, NAU or Northern Colorado. Griz had the two or 3 of the most watched FCS games on tv this year, what did they get out it, why not put those games out to bid and see what happens. If other conferences can do why not Griz.

We are near an enrollment cliff nationwide in higher ed. FBS with more revenue could help sustain enrollment. Look at the AZ schools. NAU and the community colleges have dropped enrollment since COVID but the 2 FBS schools have grown enrollment.

There isn’t any revenue to share.

What good is a few million of revenue if it costs $10 million to get the few million?

Finley Point, Big Arm, Blue Bay, Woods Bay, Skidoo Bay, East Bay, Rollins, Bigfork, Lakeside, Polson, Somers. It's been happening everywhere on Flathead Lake since the early '70s. What part of the lake did you grow up on?
