@AlBernstein Big Bad North Dakota State is going to have a huge impact on the Mountain West this fall. I will be shocked if they lose more than two conference games this year.
@loudibella Lou, who are your top 3 Hvy wts of all-time? I have Foreman at #3; Ali #2; and Joe Louis #1 due to the number of title defenses and overcoming the most pressure in history in 1936 against Hitler and Schmeling.
@loudibella His two losses and surrounding controversies to Ali really affected his legacy. IF Liston retires in 1964 before Ali he probably is widely accepted as a top 10 great.
Sources: North Dakota State has agreed to a deal to join the Mountain West in football only for 2026. The school is expected to pay nearly $12 million to join the league, which is in addition to the $5 million it will pay the NCAA to move to FBS.
