The Big Sky Conference (BSC) is an intercollegiate athletic conference affiliated with the NCAA's Division I, with football competing in the Football Championship Subdivision. Member institutions are located in the western United States in the nine states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, Oregon, Utah, and Washington. Two new affiliate members, from California, are football-only participants. Initially conceived for basketball, the BSC was founded in 1963 with six members in four states; four of the charter members remain, and a fifth will return to the conference in 2014.

Famous quotes containing the words big, sky and/or conference:
“I hate cheap pictures. I hate pictures that make people look like they’re not worth much, just to prove a photographer’s point. I hate when they take a picture of someone pickin’ their nose or yawning. It’s so cheap. A lot of it is a big ego trip. You use people as props instead of as people.”
—Jill Freedman (b. 1939)
“The day of fire is coming, the thrush
will fly ablaze like a little sky rocket....”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“Politics is still the man’s game. The women are allowed to do the chores, the dirty work, and now and then—but only occasionally—one is present at some secret conference or other. But it’s not the rule. They can go out and get the vote, if they can and will; they can collect money, they can be grateful for being permitted to work. But that is all.”
—Mary Roberts Rinehart (1876–1958)
