Rumored Changes Coming for Alaska State Football?

To date, the Alaska State football program is 37-13 overall in their 4 years of playing in the Mountain Conference. They secured 2 conference championships, and a 3rd seems inevitable. The 'Cats are 2-1 in bowl games. The downside...they are only 1-3 against top 25 opponents. 4 games versus ranked opponents in 4 years. Although they pushed now top ranked Florida State to the brink of defeat, a loss is a loss. What is the point of all this? Well, people surrounding the program are talking, talking about the level of play in the conference, and the level that Alaska State is looking to achieve. "We prepare every week, and we all go out there and play to the best of our ability, and we look to come out with a win every game, no matter who we play", stated Markell Cooley, starting QB.
One option that is being considered is a move to another conference. The other option...scheduling of ranked opponents coming into the season. But the downside being that a new, up and coming program like Alaska State doesn't offer a competitive game for some top tier programs. (Tell that to Florida State).
As it stands right now, nothing is being discussed, but the potential is there and we could see a major announcement coming sooner than later.
