I know goat fans are probably wetting themselves, but this, and I am dating myself here, seems like being Liz Taylor's fourth husband.

CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues

Seems like not fully knowing the House settlement details is a tricky situation for any more moves.
I hate that money we generated is helping the Sheep out in any way.

Think of it as a charitable contribution to the less fortunate.
Temp facility. Aloha has been shut down since the beginning of COVID-19 due to safety reasons. Now with today's news, the state might just give the money to the school and the school will construct a new stadium at where the temp facility is located.
Hawaii as FCS makes more sense
Access to the CFP is a much bigger deal than the House settlement.
Not enough money in FCS; FCS schools simply can't afford it.
Looks a lot like the little 12 without the four corner schools.
It's over a 5 hour flight to get from Honolulu to San Jose. That's the shortest travel. Laramie would be a nightmare.
They are at the FBS minimum of 16 sports so they can't cut skiing.
Interesting. The New Mexico Board of Regents actually voted to eliminate the ski program back in 2017, but ultimately reversed that decision. I have a hard time seeing how their athletic department affords to stay FBS. Any payout to the remaining MWC schools is going to be terrible.
Good. It was a great conference that was over 100 years old. Bunch of greed and TV money took a **** all over it. Im hopeful they can keep it alive.
That would be something. #snobs
There's going to be so much more change and many dominoes to fall following the legal settlement/ structure of player compensation (who is willing/ able to pay at the top tier and be in the elite level for football?) and the ACC reshuffle.
I wonder if C-USA and AAC are going to wait to see how things shake out with the P4 (plus whatever the Pac-12 may do to get to its minimum requirement of 8 members) or if the MWC limbo will cause more quick realignment of these conferences prior to the P4 moves.

Probably more money long term, as they drop a lot of dead weight from the MWC.
Don't forget that ESPN has yet to opt into 2027-2036 for the ACC media rights and they have until February to do that. If not, the ACC media rights deal ends at the end of the 2026-27 athletic season. The Pac-6 can sit pretty and see if Cal, Sanford, and SMU will become available.
Bet they wish they could also be in the Big 22 with us. Just wait until its the Big 37!
More revenue through a better media deal and bowl agreements. Better strength of schedule as a path to a CFP bid.
Is it?
If I’m an AFA fan, I want to join my academy brethren.
If I’m Wyoming fan, I want to be in FCS where I fit perfectly with Montana and Dakota schools. It would be more fun.
Good point. It makes sense to let that run out and they can dictate where they want the Schools to go with other contracts in place. Then regulate the rest to obscurity
The feeling of being left behind sucks.
Wyoming needs to drop to FCS...their student body is just 11K which is much closer to FCS than FBS when it comes to school student size.
WYO would actually be in the bottom half of the Big Sky on enrollment.

FBS requires conferences to have at least eight to be a conference. When it comes to the FCS, you just only need six football playing schools to sponsor that sport. The Summit has the four Dakota schools and if you add Wyoming, they only need to add one more school to be able to sponsor the sport. UNC might be that school.
The Big Sky can invite Colorado Mesa because they make more geographical sense than UNC.
Idaho, Idaho State, Montana, Montana State, North Dakota, North Dakota State, South Dakota, South Dakota State, Wyoming and E Washington would make a damn fine conference.
