kemajic said:I missed the "most likely" part in his post. Haslam has said he will only schedule a DII if there is not other alternatives. With the buy-out money from Udub (which I have heard is substantial) he could afford to bring in a more expensive opponent or even visit a lower FBS like Idaho, an 8-4 team this year.HelenaHandBasket said:kemajic said:The 10 2017 games listed on GoGriz.com does not feature a DII. Are you saying the 11th game is a DII?George Ferguson said:They are definitley looking into it I'm told. But, they are only willing to get out of it for a home game against a fellow P5. A lot of those teams have their schedules done and locked. So, it might be hard for UDub to find the game they're looking for. But, from what I heard, they are most definitely looking fort that game.
And while I agree with PL, that it might be in Montana's best interest to get that game bought out, it's going to make life pretty tough on Kent to find a decent FCS game to replace it with, especially when the other home game is unfortunately going to be a DII.
He is saying that the 11th game will most likely be a D2
I am fairly certain, as things stand currently, that the 11th game will be a D2 team. I think Udub would like to buy out the Montana game, but I am not sure they can find another school that is available at this short notice and if they do, what that leaves as an option for Montana. Montana may have little choice in an opponent to take the spot of Udub on the schedule as most schedules are already full. I do know that Idaho has a full schedule.
