This is a question that Montana State and the University of Montana will have to figure out soon.

College football fans are waiting for the summer to be over so they can cheer on their favorite teams this fall. We are less than three months away from the season start and everyone is making plans for which games they will be attending.

In Montana, there are two universities with prominent football programs. Montana State and the Unversity of Montana are perennial favorites to make the playoffs and favorites to win the National Championship.

College football has seen some wild changes over the past few years. These moves include NIL deals, teams moving conferences, and many FCS teams moving to the FBS.

Why am I bringing this up? The college football landscape is moving fast, and the Bobcats and the Griz might have to make a hard decision.

Could Montana State and the University of Montana move to the FBS system? We wouldn't be surprised. They are two of the most popular teams in FCS and get nationally televised games every year.

What do you think? Should the Bobcats and the Griz move up?
