League Announces Championship Schedules/Formats

Quote

In less than a month, the Big Sky Conference will officially welcome Southern Utah University and the University of North Dakota as full members, and also admit UC Davis and Cal Poly as football affiliate members.

The additions will bring the Big Sky to 11 full members and 13 football-playing schools. Four of the original six charter members of the league – Idaho State University, The University of Montana, Montana State University and Weber State University - still call the Big Sky Conference home. Northern Arizona, which joined the league in 1970, gives the Big Sky five members with at least 40 years of continuous membership.

The upcoming expansion means plenty of changes for the upcoming intercollegiate athletic season.

It would have been cool if Gonzaga and Boise St stayed in the BSC. UND on blue turf and UND against a powerhouse in basketball.

What is impressive is the stability. Are there really only 5 teams that have left the Big Sky in 50 years?
