During a radio show tonight, I heard Jim O'Day (Montana AD) explain travel costs for the Griz, and how this hinders series with most east coast teams. Basically, it costs the Griz between $100,000-$125,000 to travel to games back east, which must be funded some how. I guess O'Day and the App State. AD agreed the away team would be paid $100,000 for each game, to offset the travel costs, but most FCS teams cannot afford this amount of money.

Looking on the bright side, the NCAA usually tries to save the Griz any potential travel for the first three rounds of the playoffs. :p

I don't see how you could've heard the radio over the crowd noise at the stadium...

Can we not use the words "Montana", "three/third", "round(s)", and "playoffs" in the same sentence for a while. Thanks!

How much does it cost for them to travel to SacSt or NAU? I know there's nothing they can do about having to travel every other year to conference mates, but saying "east coast" has little to do with it. If they have to travel ANYWHERE it's going to cost them that. xpeacex
