Conference Realignment

Well, they were a warm body in our geographic area with a large population.

That and a warm weather location for possible bowl game tie-in.

They sell a shit load of SRO tickets, but they're prob not selling every single ticket in the stadium as a season ticket, thus my 12-15K for season tickets. Just as Montana does not sell every seat as a season ticket, thus the high at UM being 22K for season tickets, not 26K. If I needed to expand my season tickets (which I prob will have to in the next year or two) I'm sure I'm either gonna get moved, or be waiting.

$5m doesn't seem like it will go very far for any kind of expansion in Bozeman unless it's temp bleacher seating or something. They need to knock the non-press box side down and just get that done with.

The 5 million is only for the stadium design, actual construction will be around 80 million . We spent 24 million 2 years ago for an indoor practice field.

Is the Montana State athletic department making money, running in the black year after year? Shocking to me that they would commit over $85,000,000 unless there are plans down the road to move up?

Their donor base is ridiculous.

Like bWHYu rediculous? Or...

I would have liked the MWC adding Montana State and Montana rather than CU-Davis, GCSU, UTEP, or NIU.

For certain instead of UC-Davis and NIU. UTEP may be alright if they get it together, and Grand Canyon is the new MWC premier basketball school.

No one cares

New Mexico?

New Mexico?

Love NM more than any other school in our conference, but GCU is going to win the conference, and make some noise this year. $12,000,000 NIL payroll, and 4 pre-season all conference selections.

I think we all would have, but they don't have the money to do it.

The cats are scheduled to play North Dakota State in Vegas next year for 1.2

Montana State will receive a guarantee 1.25 million next year to play North Dakota State in Vegas. If Montana State moves up it will be a package deal to include Montana. As discussed earlier there are going to be a lot of conference realignments in the next couple of years, it’s a wait and see.
