You make these statements like they're fact. How do you know this?

Also, how do you know there aren't OTHER potential donors who WOULD donate IF the Griz moved up?

Because I know most of these big donors and potential big donors, several of whom are friends of mine, and I've also been involved in discussions about potential big donors and donations over the years.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. What a blowhard you are. Proto-typical big fish in a very small pond, blathering away about all of his big-shot buddies. I don't think anyone is impressed.

Au contraire...Player Rep is very impressed.

Yes, I'm one of the naysayers -- and that's because Missoula does not/never has/never will have the money that exists in the Boise area. And, without that, nothing good is going to come of "moving up."

I know this post isn't the first to suggest that somehow the state university's ability to fund full scholarship Division I football is somehow tied to how much money Missoula has, but it still just cracks me up. Do people really think the financial health of the University of Montana depends on Missoula's economy? Missoula left to its own devices would struggle to support a community college. Hell, Missoula couldn't even sell out a football game all on its own.
God help us if the state's largest university ever has to turn to Hoagieville or the Southgate Mall for serious dough.

Have you ever looked at what businesses make the donations to UM athletics? So, what businesses in or out of western Montana do you think would donate big bucks to UM athletics?

Edwards Aviation?
