Big Sky Changes

Utah Tech is located in St. George. Great golfing. They are located squarely within in the western United States. I.e., travel and other logistic costs are minimized. With realignment seemingly happening daily, it is good to keep your school numbers up. Need to replace Sac St and possibly UC Davis. Who knows about the Montana schools. Keeps softball and Men's golf viable with auto-bids to NCAA playoffs. Why do you think it is a bad thing or not adding anything?

My concern is that we will play the Montana schools less frequently now that the conference expanded. I wouldn't complain about scheduling either of these schools but if adding them means playing the Montana schools every other year it is a net negative. It will also create non-conference schedule issues in football for all schools. Do we really want to play Central Washington every year?
 
I don't mind the addition of Utah Tech; they seem interested in trying to build their program. SUU? No thanks.

I do wonder how this will impact Weber regarding a dilution of talent due to having two additional FCS conference teams in the state.

I'm sure we can always schedule OOC conference games like we've done in the past with Montana State in years we don't play certain teams.
