    The thing about Idaho is that they were an FBS school from 2001 through 2017. After 2017, they opted to drop to FCS because the Sun Belt dropped them over travel issues, and they opted not to play an independent football schedule, and the Mountain West refused their application. They did have 1 very successful season in the Sun Belt Conference winning a bid to the Idaho Potato Bowl and defeating MWC (now PAC) member Colorado State 63-50. I believe that Idaho would be ecstatic to receive an invitation to the MWC.

    • @BracketBusters
      @BracketBusters หลายเดือนก่อน

      Absolutely! Obviously, it's purely hypothetical, but considering how the program is looking this year and how travel is now less of a concern (for most schools at least) there could be some potential here. The MWC can get pretty creative here, especially now that Air Force is rumored to be looking at the AAC. Curious to see how it shapes up!

  • @rangersking6699
    @rangersking6699 หลายเดือนก่อน

    How are you going to make a video like this and then forget that New Mexico State and UTEP exist and would accept a MWC invitation IMMEDIATELY. Both have rich basketball histories and could revive their football programs if they had a more stable conference situation. Why add FCS teams when you can add ready made FBS teams in your region and then add WCC teams to juice the basketball product?

      @@rangersking6699 I wanted to purely highlight FCS schools for fun. I could 100% see New Mexico State hopping in there, I think it's a no brainer as well. I'm sure they'd be VERY happy to join in there.

      @rangersking6699 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@BracketBusters I think Gonzaga would leave, along with Saint Mary’s, Grand Canyon, and San Francisco. MWC has way more ncaa tournament money and exit fee money to reward incoming WCC schools, plus the remaining mountain west schools have rich basketball traditions and packed, huge arenas. It would be huge for those brands to not have to play the likes of Portland or Loyola Marymount or Seattle anymore and instead be with the big dogs where they belong. I don’t see why Gonzaga would say no if offered, it’s clearly a deeper league even after losing SDSU and Colorado state and Boise state than the WCC is. I’ll run a kenpom comp later but it can’t be close between the WCC without Gonzaga, st Mary’s, San Francisco, and Grand Canyon compared to the post departure mountain west plus NMSU and UTEP.

    • @BracketBusters
      @BracketBusters หลายเดือนก่อน

      ​@@rangersking6699100% fair point on the exit fee money, I think they are getting like a combined $17 million? At least something like that, regardless it's significant funding. If you poached those schools from the WCC you are looking at the MWC being a Top-5 conference again. Plus, you wouldn't have to worry about the FCS schools coughing up the $5mil transition fee to move to FBS.
