Did anyone see this morning's interview between the JRJ and Erick Harper and Keith Whitfield. I think that overall its a great article, but one thing in particular caught my eye. I'll quote directly from the article. RJ: How realistic is an eventual Power Four bid for UNLV, and do you believe you are better positoned for that now than two weeks ago? EH: "And so those opportunities are going to present themselves. When? If I had a crystal ball, I'd be able to give you the right answer. But I don't. So what is important for us, as I've said many, many times,is if we don'ttake care of home, we don't get an invitation regardless of realignment. We have to take care of home. And right now, we're doing a very good job with coach Odom in doing that piece of it on the football side, and we're looking to take additional steps this year on the basketball side. Lindy La Rocque has women's basketball squarely in play. My interpretation of that is they'll be looking for a new men's basketball coach. Perhaps upgrading with some new money coming in? How do you guys read it?

I, had followed 5 Beav fans on X.
Now, I only follow 2. That's, all you need to know about 90 percent of Beav fans, toward UNLV.

UTEP is closer to Las Vegas than Montana. Actually Vegas is closer to El Paso than I am to El Paso and I live in Houston.
The Montana schools would cost 10 mil to "Call up" to to FBS. Their entire state barely has 1 million people. They are good FCS schools, but more often than not teams struggle for a while making the transition.
They are close to Wyoming, but offer little media value and probably not competitive value either.
Sac St. makes more sense from a market perspective if we call up a FCS and it looks like they are already making the infrastructure moves to do so. Have the Montana schools done that? I sincerely don't know.
