I’ll fully admit I have no knowledge of how these games get scheduled, but it has to be an easier conversation to start when you are calling someone that you’ve known for years personally and are on conference calls and go to conference meetings with every year. Expand Very possible and you would assume that the schools look at each other as peers rather than down their nose like they aren't worthy of a home/home. I guess the good news is the MVFC will go from having 1 extra team to 2, so maybe that will help out. But again, it still only accounts for 1 game in that whole list. Quote

Expand What year did the great west teams join the Big Sky? Seems they must have known it was coming since they had so much play back and forth between the two leagues in 2009 and 2010. NAU v. EWU also fits the criteria Also, I believe App state was transitioning by then, so technically is an FBS away game for Montana. Edit: 2012 they were still FCS, I’m not sure what they were in 2013 since they were awful it’s hard to tell if they were eligible for playoffs that year or if they had already increased scholarships.

And may I add, we are not complaining how tough it is to schedule MH OOC teams. Here's the tickler tough, going to the next level to complain about it on a rival message board. Expand But we also normally schedule 60-80% of our non conference games at home for hockey which is just smart business and if NDSU can schedule 3 or their 4 or 2 of their 3 non conference games at home or if it is a 2 and 2 they try and make one a FBS team and get a check then I can't fault them for that.
