It’s happening, wow! $12 million is surprising too

They are doing football only. The entire athletic department budget at NDSU is $30 million. UW's budget is $55 million. Good argument UW could just stay in the MWC for football move to Summit with NDSU for all other sports and save $25 million. https://knightnewhousedata.org/fbs/mwc

Before Utah State moved into the MWC conference we thought of them as being a lower level, and now they have left the MWC to enter the PAC12......Wyoming is just a speed bump on the way to higher levels for so many schools... We used to be competitive with BYU at one time, and Utah and now look where they are and we are! We once played Arizona and Arizona St. in the same conference. Now CSU has moved along with Utah State.

and we would beat Arizona & A-state.

BIGHORN you are so right!

How does Wyoming going to the Summit help us at all?!?!? NDSU is in the summit because it can bus their olympic teams to most conference opponents. The Summit would be MORE travel (to more obscure destinations) for Wyoming.
