With the exception of our track/Xc programs, we are no where near competitive at an FBS (solid conference) level, and likely will never be. Aren’t we already Football-only in MVFC? That’s what we need to do going forward—football only FBS.

And, yes already, I Know about B12 wrestling. Our other sports would be blown out of the gym at a higher level, forever.

Golf is an outlier maybe, cuz Slick claims he plays that well, and SDBison paid to be a member of some league near Tea Sodak, so….

MBB is not far off from middle of the mountain west level. Hell SDSU is probably pretty close. We would certainly need to step it up across the board though.

I have faith. We’ve done it before.

What other sports are there in the MVFC?*





*Don't get me started on football only FBS

Reports are that the Big XII deal with ESPN/Fox (63%/37%) includes a pro rata for the conference: If they add a member the deal goes up the amount of a current share. (There is some noise that only ESPN is doing it, not Fox.) BUT ... the pro rata clause only kicks in if the new member is an existing P5 member. If the Big XII plucks say from MWC pro rata does not apply, the deal does not go up.

With the new deal there's no incentive for the Big XII to pull from any G5 conference.

That tells me if they do expand they'll be going after the "four corners" of the PAC.

Expanding athletics funding while contracting academics funding. It won't be a good look to the general public (looking for workforce) or the Legislature.

Even if you say "but private funding!" it'll still be blood sport, with no winners.
