On one hand, call me when school officials start talking about this. Local columnist? Who reads that guy anymore?

The other hand is that Davis is the school currently in the Big Sky with the endowment and sheer moxie to pull that off. Yes, I said that knowing Montana is in the room. UM has 18% of the endowment Davis has.

Does that translate into anything tangible? Eh... it was Dan Hawkins commenting on Dirk Koetter and Mike Bellotti (after taking over for Koetter in Boise IIRC) when he once said something about "those Davis guys" being a different breed. Flip a coin. Thing is, while that stadium was built to be expandable, it wasn't built bigger than 10K (for now) for reasons.

Davis needs some success at the FCS level before they can seriously consider a move up. This usually happens with most of the Big Sky schools after getting some taste of success. Back about 12 years ago, there was talk about us moving up to FBS.

Not much to see here. Best to move along.
