I know this might have been done before, but with basketball season right around the corner you can kinda tell which schools are trying to make a bid to join the Sky. I've spent some time looking over each schools schedule and I've come to the conclusion that there are a number of schools that are played frequently by Big Sky schools that are members of lower-tiered conferences. For instance, UVU, Seattle, SUU, Cal Poly, UC Davis, and because of their win over ISU this season in football Central Washington (I for one would rather have current DI schools join the conference). Could one of these schools be the next member of the conference? In my opinion, it would be great to steal a couple West Coast/Big West schools that have revived their football programs.
 
Thats what I've been saying for years, but I think some of the conferences older members, especially the ones located in MT, are against it. Too me though its a no brainer. SUU has good facilities, decent athletics, its above average academically, and its easy to travel to. You can fly into St. George (1 hr), Vega (2 1/2 hrs), or SLC (3 1/2 hrs). Thats easier or as easy to get to as NAU, UNC, or ISU; I think Bozeman has an airport, but if you have to drive to Bozeman, SUU would be easier. Its on I-15 for heavens sake.
