Is the Big Sky moving to 14 football teams?

I am all for it. If you read this tweet, it would appear that there's a chance that it could happen.
Craig Haley (@CraigHaley) tweeted at 10:12am - 14 Jul 14: Fullerton: Idaho, New Mexico St. out there as possible 14th Big Sky football members. Only when time is right. #BigSkyKickoff
Perusing ESPN, they touched on this subject as well. Hey the more the merrier right? I am sure that our comrades to the south will find a way to malign this move. Whatever! To each his own.
Lynn DeBruin, AP Sports Writer -- The Big Sky definitely wants Idaho to become its 14th football-playing member, joining regional schools Idaho State, Eastern Washington, Montana and Montana State.

Commissioner Doug Fullerton said the Big Sky may be part of the Football Conference Subdivision, formerly known as Division I-AA -- but he argues that it wouldn't be a step down for Idaho.

He said the Idaho Vandals would become stronger in the FCS than at the bottom of the FBS "because they will become successful."

As for the WAC, Fullerton wasn't as optimistic. He said he can envision it disappearing completely in one year, or playing only basketball -- but would be surprised, "barring major help," if it remains an FBS conference.

UND football has hit rock bottom



I think we've hit rock bottom in Grand Forks, ND. In defense of the football team, it's a relatively nice day outside. Also, it's the deer hunting opener and a 2-7 and one win at home.

SDSU's Zack Zenner takes it 46-yards to the house



In my opinion, this was the difference in the football game between SDSU and UND. UND would go on to lose the game 35-28, as a late rally would fall short. All in all, it was an impressive day for All-American Running Back Zach Zenner. On this play in question, Zenner was untouched as he scampered 46 yards to the end zone.

 Zenner Line 


Here's the line on Zenner 37 rushing attempts for 296 yards. Zenner only had one rush for a loss. Zenner also tied the schools record for 295 yards rushing in a game, scoring three touchdown… Zenner’s longest run was for 46.
