Big Sky Commissioner is looking at expanding the playoffs... Please don't expand the playoffs. We're already at 24 teams.

It does make sense. Losing 2 at-large spots could be huge for the number of BSC teams that get in each season.

They want to keep increasing the number of teams in the playoffs because it's only the followers of those teams that even watch the playoffs. No one else cares. Game attendance and TV viewership is very poor; big $ loser for the NCAA.

No, he is trying to maintain the status quo for the non-AQ BSC teams to get into the playoffs. I would be fairly certain that every member school of the BSC is behind the push.

Wistrcill is on a long line of idiots to have that job.

Does the conference solicit fan input in any meaningful way?

To be fair, I’ve never sent an email suggesting or supporting/decrying anything to the bunker in Park City.

Does anyone have any experience communicating with BSC leadership?

Is the rumor true that they consult an Ouija Board for all major decisions?

Hopefully the NCAA will not be willing to lose even more money from FCS playoffs by adding more games. Already too many.

Well, they should probably just let teams that win their conference participate and reduce the number then...since it is a big financial burden for the NCAA.

I got to admit....
It's amusing as fvck how butt-hurt some people get after being told they might have one extra home game every season

ROOT is only airing 4 games? ok, then.

It's because two of the other "Big Sky Games of the Week" will be on ESPNU instead - Montana at Eastern Washington and Montana State at Weber State. The other factor is Root picked up the Blazers now too to go with the Mariners and Seahawks so limited air time.

Good idea, but often there is no way to tell which team won their conference, e.g., the BSC.
