Big Sky Conference Megathread: 2024 Edition

[bonarae]

This thread is for and about the Big Sky Conference teams, players and coaches.

Just how many teams in the conference have yet to announce their 2024 schedules?

--
A quick side note from the OP:
Effective today and until Harvard's new coach is officially hired, my primary team on AGS is UC Davis, with ETSU, St. Thomas and Harvard as the supporting cast. I toyed with the idea of shifting my team for many years now (since the early to mid 2010s), however, the Ivies hardened their football hearts further in the interim and I was opening myself up to other teams to compensate. After Murphy retired in Cambridge, I was contemplating a sabbatical from AGS to focus on my masteral thesis; however, the FCS schedule updates and news updates on other teams became too hard to ignore.

If you need to back me up on this thread, send a PM.

ISUr MVFC fan from Chicago area ... I'll throw this thread a bone and even an excuse. Blame it on the 3 hour time zone change from east to west coast.

Being from Chicago area with the "second city" complex, and all that, etc .. our New Year's Eve absolutely sucks compared to New York's NYE celebration. So I blame it on New York being an hour ahead of us, Plus I'm a Boomer, the largest generation ever, and have trouble staying awake until my midnight anway.

Surely, its nothing more than that ... I hope. And your excuse is 2 hours better than midwest's !!! You got nothing else, so go with that maybe ?

More seriously note .. honestly love the Big Sky's ascension the last 5 years .. some don't like to believe it is entirely real for some odd reason, but I do. And other than our Natty teams, you guys are right there with MVFC .. I find it fun to watch other really good conferences grapple for playoff bids and seeds, given SOS impacts on record.

Griz have EIGHT home games in this coming season. Is there any rule in the NCAA that limits the number of home games a team can have?

Jebus. And the 4 HOME OOC consists of a D-II, recent cellar dwellar ISU-b, and NEC Sacred Heart? And 2 of their road games are ISU-o and Cal Poly? I know teams can change over the next 2 years, but that SOS smells bad....

There are too many voters that do not put much weight on SOS and seem to only look at W-L record.

The Griz know this use it to their advantage.

Are the Griz chicken to play a quality opponent on the road?

That is actually the 2025 season. I looked at it and thought that PSU was going to Missoula this year.

But the Griz don't really schedule (or aren't doing the courage to schedule) enough away games... if they were an Ivy or a PFL, do those schools want to be their regional versions of the Griz?

With the completion of next year’s schedule, the Grizzlies will become the first known FCS team ever to play eight regular-season home football games in 2025, director of athletics Kent Haslam said.
