Big Sky School Contemplating Dropping Football?

Tingey said one school in the Big Sky Conference is weighing whether to drop football entirely.

Anybody heard any of this kind of talk..from anywhere around the conference?

This was all over the Any Given Saturday board over the last week or so. The consensus is that it would be NAU due to budget issues with the state. The others that could be in that mix for various reasons are:

Sac State because many other schools in the Cal State system have already dropped football, Long Beach, Fullerton, Northridge, etc.

Portland St because they don't own or maintain an on campus facility.

Eastern Wash just because Western Washington just dropped football this year.

Saying all that I'd think the likelyhood of any of them doing it would be low but times are tough who knows.
