Let’s see what happens. u really think that the mwc first choice is northern FCS schools when they can/could add UTEP, nmsu, tsu, UTSA......heck they would upgrade over Fresno by adding cal davis.....even sac state has a higher upside to the conference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal Davis could also bring a good BB program to the MWC, Sac St might have a better chance that the dakotas 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting article.....only a blip about ndac and sdac. kinda didn't think about air force jumping to the aac to be with their military friends....especially after csu ditched em and only wyoming is kinda left for a long time rival. funny to think that people are even saying "sac state to pac12"....but why not.....population, politics, and stadium is decent. so you would think that sac to mwc would a no brainer? and why not hawaii to pac12 too.....just depends if the pac12 wants to stay somewhat regional or if they go west to rice and tulane and whatnot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SIOUXFAN97 Posted September 14 Share Posted September 14 would it be that big of a deal for reno and lv to be in different conferences.... a new pac 12 and a new mwc depending on who they get ....i don't see a huge huge difference between the two if this is played out the way it might go unlv in pac12 should be a no brainer..maybe even new mexico...air force to aac makes sense that would leave reno, usu, wyomong, and sjsu...not much there/left Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodakvindy Posted September 23 Share Posted September 23 I think they look to UNLV and Utah St.for all sports, Hawaii for football only and zgonzaga for non football. 9 football for optimal round robin scheduling with potential extra revenue games from Hawaii rule. A very solid basketball league that is probably 6th after the power 4 and big east. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AJS Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 The one thing I don't think gets enough attention is enrollment of schools at the G5 level. Much easier to fund athletic departments with student fees and state funding vs private donations. Clearly more sustainable. If you look at the current Mountain West, the lowest enrollment is Hawaii at 19K and then Nevada and UNM around 21/22K. Schools that have publicly came out as wanting membership. NMSU (21K), Sac State (32K) Others. UC Davis: 40K Montana State: 17K UND: 15K NDSU: 12K SDSU: 12K Montana: 10.5K USD: 10K A piece of the puzzle I find interesting. A few big $ donors and that piece is covered (way easier said than done, especially when you're talking annually). No doubt most schools could "figure it out", if the only goal is just to go G5. To compete at the highest level of that division is a different story. I'm far from anti-going FBS. Ideally, we'll stay tethered to the other Dakota schools, whenever that ends up, just wondering (I have no clue either), how many FCS schools really have the finances to compete at the highest G5 level. Another thing is it different in 2024 (NIL), then this would have been in 2015? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
