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

The G6 is a dying product because there is a need for P4 football as well as FCS but I am not sure where G6 fits into that. You are sacrificing home playoff games for meaningless bowl games by leaving the FCS for the G6. If it is unlikely that someone will go from G6 or FCS to the NFL and the majority of the Griz opponents will be at less than 75% capacity in either league what real benefit is there to moving up? The downside is you are leaving the stability of the FCS. Programs like Northern Arizona and Northern Colorado are built around developing local players that the FBS schools in their state didn’t recruit. There will always be a need for those types of programs. You are also leaving behind the home playoff games.

If you think we we would be better off playing and sticking around with Portland State, Northern Colorado and UT-Tech instead of Wyoming, Nevada and NDSU etc. I have ocean front property in Nebraska to sell you

Okay, but that isn’t going to get UM to FBS.

Again, do you think UM has never thought of increasing enrollment?

No. Increasing enrollment is the lifeblood of a public university.

However, some people get in the mindset of "We've already looked at that and it won't work here." or "That's not how we do things at Montana.".

That's why I'm excited by President Shinn.
