Description
In this week's Akem's Analysis, Samuel Akem discusses Montana's recent decision to opt into the house settlement and what it means for the university's future and its athletics. The change for them was a little last-minute, but in the end, due to the roosting adjustment, they were able to make it work for themselves.
Sammy also makes his 2025 preseason award picks for the Big Sky Conference, some may surprise you, and some may be expected. An article was written last week discussing the potential financial distribution numbers Tennessee Chattanooga could have for its athletics in this first year of revenue sharing.
