Hi Guest,
We've updated the site to combine all the forums that were part of the Big Sky Fans Network into one location. This will make it easier to navigate and participate in all the discussions for each school without having to have multiple accounts, etc. We are still working out some tweaks but please let us know if you notice anything.
With the migration, in some circumstances, your username could have been merged with one of your other usernames from the other forums. If this is the case, you can request to change your username in your account details page of your profile. -

talon, as you know EWU is a D1 school, if you mean we are FCS in Football opposed to FBS scout has sites for teams like Gonzaga who has no Football and teams like Grand Valley State(whose Football team is not D1) and Illinois State (whose Football team is FCS) so it covers a variety of schools. Probably like SE said lack of interest/funds ...
I've worked as a photographer for Scout.com on occasion and I'm good friends with a couple of their analysts (going to a bachelor party for one of them this weekend even though I'm really too old to do so) so I have a little knowledge of how Scout does this...
Usually, school-specific sites are started by individuals that aren't related to Scout. When the site shows enough user traffic, Scout will "lock" them up, so to speak. Typically, it's a renewable contract with the orginal owners still having ownership but becoming Scout employees. A school doesn't have to be FBS to have a Scout website. Scout covers basketball, football, baseball, etc., all the way from high school to the pros. If your site looks like it will make money, then Scout is interested. If your site ends up sucking, they'll look to hook up with a competing site of the same school/team.
Scout also owns many of the sites as well but that's not true of all of them (Dawgman.com, for example).
Make sense?
