...there are interesting threads on both the Montana and Idaho message boards about Doug Fullerton's comments in Park City recently about splitting the Big Sky into FBS and FCS divisions. Here's a link to an article in the Missoulian about the concept. Go to either the Montana or Idaho football message boards for the threads on the topics -- you can't miss them, they're "hot."

This at least is a substantial report on the matter that the No. Dakota fan brought up a few weeks ago.

I was asking for something more than remarks on a fan message board. This provides it. I’ll have to take his comments more seriously now although I’m still not sure where this is all leading.

I was struck by the fact that Fullerton, who has always been a football guy, apparently brought this up in the past.

We may know more after August 7th when the NCAA votes on the power conferences requests.

Just off the top of my head I don't see how a single conference can have teams just in football in both the FBS and FCS divisions....and what will this mean for all the other non-football sports?

I think there are million issues that would have to be resolved first, not the least of which is that the NCAA currently does not allow a conference to "move up" en masse -- rather, individual schools have to join already established FBS conferences. All of this is a lot of speculation and "talking out loud" right now. Long-term, though, you can predict who the schools are that are well-positioned to make such a jump (schools that have stadiums that already meet attendance requirements or can be easily expanded to do so, for example), and those who would not.
