Colter Nuanez is joined by SWX Sports reporter Shaun Rainey for a wide-ranging conversation on the overall state of the FCS, using Montana State’s National Championship and Shaun’s experience covering the title game in Nashville as a launching point. They discuss the long-standing dominance of programs from Montana and the Dakotas, why that power structure has remained so consistent, and how it continues to shape the subdivision, while also diving into competitive balance, resource disparities, national visibility, and what the future realistically looks like for the FCS. The conversation then shifts to the hardwood, as Colter and Shaun break down the Brawl of the Wild, sharing their thoughts on the rivalry matchup and what to expect from the games coming up this Saturday.
