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.

If Idaho does indeed join... what will happen to the conference?

If it stays 14, is a split into divisions possible?

If FBS, the poorer schools will go to the WAC.

If FCS, a north and south division.

North:  UND, UNC, Mont, MSU, EWU, Idaho, and PSU.

I'm confident it will be FBS.  Ed Schafer is confident too.:D

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

At 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.

I thought because of our playoff system you can't have divisions in the FCS, or I am wrong on that.

B1G playing dirty to keep the Big 12 from having a conference football championship game.  Will likely lead to the Big 12 adding a couple teams.

Wow, the B1G is doing a fine job meddling here also*.

*See: effort to keep 21 year old freshmen out of college hockey.

Move Missouri, and Colorado back to the Big 12 and you have 12 teams and split divisions.

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.
