MWC needs one more school to continue sponsoring the sport (which they just started doing recently). So, they probably take one (or more) of the remaining schools in the MPSF as an affiliate.

Yeah. There are only 2 remaining schools. I'm curious where Sac State lands. Will the PAC or MWC consider ANY of our sports at all?
Gymnastics is one of those funny sports where more teams actually hinders the championship. 4-6 is a normal rotation, 12 is probably the limit for multi day championships with qualifying comfortably.
Track has the same problem, 14-18 schools at one conference championships is ridiculous. More so it leaves out opportunities for athletes.

Dr. Wood gave Griz fans/sometimes SAC-hating trolls a very long, interesting interview on their podcast yesterday. There is tons in here being discussed on X, etc. Everything from FBS to NIL to the stadium.
I guess my biggest takeaway is that he still is insistent there will be news on the FBS front in November.

"...new FBS conference" ??? new?

‘New’ to an existing FBS conference, or a creation of a ‘New’ FBS conference?
The WAC is the only grandfathered conference that was dormant FBS. Or did the Big West also have the FBS designation and they just lost all their FBS schools?

You could tell listening to this that Dr. Wood slipped in a couple things he wanted to say, the way he wanted to say it. Say what you will about his performative tactics, but I don't think he's dumb. He knew going on a Griz podcast would have reach, and it already has national FCS talking heads engaged. Was the "new" comment purposefully ambiguous? I would say 100% yes.
With no pen to paper as he says, he may have learned a lesson from the D1 council and subcommittee epic fails and doesn't want to give anything away to anyone. Do I think we are going to be the lynchpin in resurrecting a 3rd West Coast FBS conference (WAC or BW)? Probably not, but the possibility does add to the drama!

A hurdle for Montana is they only have 14 sports. They would need to add 1-2 women’s programs to equal out the TitleIX.

I think whatever is announced in November, cough, cough, will also involve Tarleton.
Too bad our respective football programs are going in complete opposite directions.

The one thing I take from Dr. Wood comments is the confidence. He has the info we don’t. I don’t think things would be said like this with only 2 games on the 2026 schedule unless he knows much more and just can’t let it out yet. I get the skepticism but I’m pulling for the Program. I get people don’t like his approach but at least there is a President that is going for it.
