Mountain West Conference meeting

Take this as you will, probably nothing but its out there in the universe.

I wonder if the MWC saw the ratings for the Super Brawl and thought "maybe it wouldn't be so bad to have those MT schools in our tv contract after all".

I am once again very against moving up to the current FBS climate. Big fish in a small pond beats playing in the goddamn Idaho Potato Bowl as the best possible ending to our season

Oh good, another FBS/Move Up thread. I'm sure this won't be yet another rehash of the same arguments we've already had dozens of times before!

Andrew Schmidt is a self proclaimed Stugotz. He's made so many predictions that didn't come to pass and has so many claims that have zero credibility. Nothing to see here. Ignore him.

Yeah, this isn't the first time he's put stuff out there about MSU & UM moving to FBS. The guy just wants attention and doesn't care how he gets it.

I don’t want to be a G6 team in the current landscape, but I don’t think the current structure of CFB is long for the world. P4 is going to want to split into its own level, stripping money from the G6. At that point G6 conferences aren’t going to be looking to add teams and split a smaller profit pot than they’re used to. If we’re not in the G6 at that point, we’ll be stuck in a third tier of football.

That's always been my view as well. It's why I've leaned towards moving up.

Winning a national championship is sure fun though.

We need relegation

James Madison moved up to FBS in 2023 and made the playoffs this year. Top 2 G5 conferences get auto berths & theres zero reason why MSU wouldn't immediately be competitive in the MWC or Pac Whatever.

I get your point, the bowl system is stupid, but it's not really a rational reason to oppose moving up.

We want to keep beating up on teams like Tennessee Tech, Abeline Christian, and Tarleton? More conference games against the likes of Portland State and UNC & Dixie State?

Maybe we should drop to NAIA so we could win more national championships.

And a 10 team max in conferences. And regionalization. And guaranteed contracts for players. And a 'no-contact' rule for hiring coaches mid season.

Need a LOT of things to fix college football.
