The University of Montana officially opted-in to the House Settlement that allows the program to share revenue with the players.  Helping explain what that means and how the next few years will look, Montana Athletic Director Kent Haslam sat down with us to talk it over.  In one of our shorter pods Kent shares the process, the reason for the decision, and how the current NIL collective will continue to operate.  We round out with questions on the bubble, scheduling and the ever changing Big Sky Conference.

In our latest GFP former Griz, and current Regina Roughrider Braxton Hill joins the pod to talk about football career so far. He shares stories on growing up in Anaconda, playing for Montana, and what the CFL is like. It’s a fun look back on his upbringing that would turn him into one of Montana’s more dominant linebackers and then his time as Griz.

In this special (and shorter) episode of the GFP, we sat down with UM Athletic Director Kent Haslam. We tackle a variety of topics on the minds of Griz Nation. This week we put out the question: If you could ask the athletic department one question, what would it be? The responses received were incredible, and we build an extensive list of questions from it.

We did our best to cover as much as possible in our broad conversation. Topics included stadium and facilities improvements, conference alignments, NIL, and recent NCAA lawsuits and settlements. Additionally we discussed fan experience, scheduling, the cost of uniforms and equipment, and much more.

We hope you enjoy this inside look and chat that addresses many of the questions that matter to Griz Nation!
