Next meeting is Feb/March to make decision.Idaho will be in the Big Sky for football in 2018. The question is FBS or FCS.Spear is just now fussing up. Earlier Spear stated some of the BSC would like to go FBS. Edited November 15, 2015 by SiouxVolley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SWSiouxMN Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 If Idaho does indeed join... what will happen to the conference?If it stays 14, is a split into divisions possible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Schafer is confident too.Now that the dirty work is over, Ed steps in to some major donations.

SiouxVolley Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 leaves one spot for the thundering turdAt the Idaho board, there are apoplectic about Spears comments. What he said is entirelying consistent with Fullerton'said past comments, as Idaho and other research heavy institutions like NMSU, NDSU, USD, UCD, Cal Poly, and the Montanas want to band together and be with peer institutions. It needs NCAA rulet changes for that to happen, but the P5 needs more FCS schools to move up now for more plentiful and cheaper P5-G5 contests. Suspect the other Dakota Schools will join us.

sioux24/7 Posted November 15, 2015 Share Posted November 15, 2015 Well, I suppose the Northern Sun could find room for us? That's what I'm thinking. But in all seriousness I don't see why anyone wouldn't want to be in a conference with the other Dakota schools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Second of all, the MVFC has no interest in expansion right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think they are itching to get back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darell1976 Posted December 7, 2015 Share Posted December 7, 2015 If I had to take a wild guess I'd say BYU and Boise State. that would be 2 good choices. I don't see any SB teams getting in, I wonder how this would shift what SV says about Idaho and if they could go from the SB to the MWC if Boise bolts.

The Sicatoka Posted December 7, 2015 Author Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) If I had to take a wild guess I'd say BYU and Boise State. How about pick two of ( Louisville / Memphis / Cincinnati ). They'd make West Virginia in the Big XII make more geographic sense and it would make the American Athletic Conference even less relevant.
