JackJD Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 The PSU football program is on its way out. Idaho's football program is on a path back to the Big Sky. If and when that happens the commissioners plan would be to drop Cal Poly and Cal Davis also and then add USD, SDSU and NDSU making it a 14 team league split East and West. I'm not saying that's going to happen, just saying it's been discussed. But at the very least the PSU football program has one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel! Do you think such a plan has been discussed with SDSU? I would be surprised...I think SDSU's vision is pointed east, not west. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tangolou Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 Do you think such a plan has been discussed with SDSU? I would be surprised...I think SDSU's vision is pointed east, not west. I have no idea if it has been discussed with any of the schools I mentioned, I just know it's been discussed with UND. I don't know if any of the other schools are even remotely interested. The football landscape is going to change a lot in the next few years and I think the big sky is just trying to in a strong position.

SiouxVolley Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 That would never fly in Fargo. Yeah, there is so much animosity toward the Big Sky and UND in Fargo, it wouldn't bother Teammakers a bit to stay in FCS while the Big Sky schools (EWU, Griz, Cats, UND, etc) go FBS with Idaho.

SiouxVolley Posted December 12, 2014 Share Posted December 12, 2014 I am not positive on all the reasons but I know UT has blocked them getting in previously. I think some at UT might think it will make pulling the best recruits out of Houston more difficult. UH is a commuter school so it really doesn't have a very good "college" atmosphere and I doubt Houston in the Big 12 would hurt schools like UT when it comes to recruiting but you never know. Anne Richards blocked them when she was Governor, as she and the Lt Gov. and insisted the Baylor get in over Houston. Houston actually had a chance to join the SEC with A&M in 1993, but A&M went with the Big 12. The Big 12 would never accept Houston now, as four Texas teams is enough (the broadcast partners wouldn't go for it). Houston has to wait until Texas leaves the Big 12 to get a call, or Houston and SMU could go to the PAC12, which would be good Texas markets to get into for the PAC12 (and their broadcast partners would likely approve, but first the PAC12 needs to digest Colorado and Utah). Houston and SMU have enough academic and research components so they won't be blocked by Stanford and co, so other than Big 12 schools themselves, their the next possible PAc12 members (Boise St, BYU, and UNLV would be blocked).

According to everything I've read on the subject, Baylor got in over TCU. Houston, SMU, and Rice had pretty much zero shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bang Posted December 16, 2014 Share Posted December 16, 2014 Wander what they're paying him? Whatever it is Nebraska is paying 1.8 Million dollars of his earinings per year for the next 51 months (according to wikipedia). Not sure if it signifies a move to FBS. The team I believe hasn't made the playoffs since 2006, They average around 14,000-16,000 fans but are leaving 4000-6000 seats empty per game. Not sure FBS would bring much more interest, especially if they aren't winning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiouxVolley Posted December 17, 2014 Share Posted December 17, 2014 Would the MAC take them?The MAC has rejected them several to be. With Akron and Kent in NE Ohio, Youngstown St buys them absolutely nothing. YSU has an average entrance ACT of like 16 or 17. It's the school of last resort. That why Tressel can be president there.
