OK, I'll start by admitting that maybe I've had one too many microbrews tonight, but I'm going to go against my principles of posting here and post an off the wall topic that my mind has stumbled upon. Before people ask where I got this information, let me say that this is just my own thoughts and do not come from anywhere (so you all can file it under "G" for garbage if you want), just a slightly inebriated mind...
Picture this, the Great West conference and the Big Sky combining into one big megaconference. Two divisions of seven teams each. The breakdown as follows...
Eastern Division
Montana
Montana State
Idaho State
Weber State
N Colorado
ND State
SD State
Western Division
E Washington
Portland State
Sac State
UC-Davis
Cal Poly
N Arizona
S Utah
Have not had enough beers yet to determine how scheduling would work, but this would put the Dakotas with the two Montana schools, Davis/Sac State would play a meaningful conference game every year, and each division would be pretty strong. Travel would also be fairly minimal.
