Better than some of the dreck we’ve added

No realistic better add if it comes to fruition. Would be huge for the MWC moving forward.

Could you imagine if they come in and win the conference in their first season in FBS?

Surely they don’t stand a chance against our flagship programs of UNLV and Air Force, right?

I think they probably will. Both them and Montana State would have been near/at the top of the MWC this past year IMO. They can’t qualify for a postseason bowl for 2 years though. I’d bet they play an 8 game FBS conference schedule with 4 OOC FCS games for their transition.

They will be the new Boise with their fan support and resources.
