From Wayne Nelson of the Grand Forks Herald:
Big Sky athletic directors and administrators will meet next week with league commissioner Doug Fullerton to discuss the future of the conference, which stretches from Montana to California.
The information from that session will be forwarded to a meeting of Big Sky school presidents on Oct. 19, a meeting that could go a long way in determining whether UND finds a suitable Division I home for its athletic programs.
The Big Sky is taking a proactive approach to the possibility of losing members to the Western Athletic Conference. The WAC is meeting this week in Dallas and Montana — a prominent Big Sky member — is expected to receive an invitation to join the Football Bowl Subdivision league.
“There is a lot of support for UND,” Fullerton said.
The information gathered from next week’s meeting with league athletic officials, Fullerton said, will help him “set the table” for the upcoming presidents’ meeting.
UND isn’t the only school under consideration for possible Big Sky membership. Southern Utah also is under consideration. And Fullerton said South Dakota has been discussed as well.
