Instead, the Cowboys and the other MWC leftovers (perhaps excluding SJSU) will charge ~4 current Big Sky schools no entrance fee to join the mighty MWC. If that did happen (understand the sarcasm this is wishful thinking on my part) would love to see Montana, MSU, South and North Dakota State join. Hawaii can go independent for financial benefit and San Jose State can just die already or go FCS. I know we offer absolutely nothing in terms of television market but at least we would bring overall competitive football and actually have fans in the stands.

I know we offer absolutely nothing in terms of television market but at least we would bring overall competitive football and actually have fans in the stands. While Montana does indeed have a very good thing going in terms of on field performance and fan attendance one could argue that both of these are functions of the FCS environment. I'd becareful what you wish for as a high achieving FCS Montana team could very easily become an average or even below average performing G5 FBS team after a few years. On field performance and attendance could in time suffer when your not posting conference leading or at the very least top half of the conference records and participating annually in a playoff but instead competing for largely irrelevant bowl games. If Montana had been like Wyoming and from day one been a D1/FBS program would they have ever built the program they have today? Now don't get me wrong I think Montana would do just fine transitioning to a watered down MWC if and in my opinion when the MWC losses 2-3 of its best teams due to the coming Big XII defections. You got to ask yourself though, Is that really moving up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can't happen unless you four commit to a big increase in your athletic budget. However, that could be mitigated if the MWC would save more than half a million per year by firing Craig Thompson and replacing him with a chimpanzee willing to work for minimum wage. The chimp would be just as good a commissioner. 2 Quote Boom goes the dynamite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think of Wyoming as a welfare team. Most people think of the Big Sky conference when they think of Wyoming. As should be. No travel subs or we are out. bye bye Quote The World Needs More Cowboys!

I don't have to point out any schools here, you know who you are. Soon Hawaii will have the MWC by the balls and pull a BYU and go independent. Hawaii like BYU did, will get tired of supporting this lame ass conference full of coat tail riders. You know who you are, I don't have to point you out. Oh well what the hell, Wyoming, New Mexico, Colorado St, have been riding the coattails of BYU, Utah and TCU for years. Now they are riding Boise St's coattails and soon Hawaii's. It's a shame Wyoming wants to continue to act like a mid-major program when everyone knows they belong in the Big Sky with the Dakota's and Montana's. The NCAA does not provide us any welfare. The game zero and 13th game rule was put in place as a welfare program for schools who can't afford the travel to Hawaii. It's a way to make up the cost of traveling to Hawaii by scheduling a 13th home game with an extra bye week to play around with. None of this benefits Hawaii, we can afford to live without the 13th game as demonstrated previously. The MWC is just a temporary stop for Hawaii on the road to a P-5 conference membership. The Pac-12 will come calling with-in the next 5 years, you heard it here first from me. They are just waiting for UNLV to get their shit together before they pull the trigger on a Hawaii/UNLV membership package. Hawaii has to pay to play Quote The World Needs More Cowboys!

Warbow Posted March 24, 2017 Share Posted March 24, 2017 22 hours ago, SleepingGiantsFan said: Did you inadvertently exclude SDSU or do you think UNLV has twice the potential of BYU, your school and "maybe Cincinnati"? I think you're wrong about Wyo ending up in the Big Sky. Instead, the Cowboys and the other MWC leftovers (perhaps excluding SJSU) will charge ~4 current Big Sky schools no entrance fee to join the mighty MWC. It'll be an offer they can't refuse. Gotta keep propping up Craig Thompson's 401(k) after all. No, I think UNLV is a gold mine waiting to be discovered. Hawaii, UNLV and SD St. would make great additions to the Pac-12. But, the Pac-12 already has the San Diego market and won't take them, you guys bring nothing to their bank account. On the other hand, Hawaii and UNLV bring them something they don't have. Wyoming, the Dakota's, and the Montana's all belong in the same conference somewhere in FCS. Better yet, we trade Wyoming and San Jose St for Montana and Eastern Washington.
