BSU, Nevada, and Fresno State all have comparable budgets to Mountain West teams, and all three have made no secret that's where they want to go. If you've ever seen a football game on TV from NMSU, San Jose, or USU, you know the attendance total which is reported is even lower than the number in the stands.

Rumor has it that Northern Arizona is planning major construction/renovation of their facilities including a new basketball facility, New tennis courts, renovation of soccer/track stadium and the Sky dome. Something smells fishy over there. If you ask me, Montana and Northern Arizona will move to a higher division within the next 5 years!
