The bar is the share of those games won. Games against teams from the FBS count together.

Conference titles as each program’s Wikipedia infobox lists them (CC BY-SA), shared titles counted for every co-champion; the conference’s earlier names count as the same conference.

Football membership as CollegeFootballData.com records it under this conference’s name, from 1970; a school’s separate stays are listed apart.

Counted only in seasons a school was a member on file (from 1970); a draft pick counts for the season before the draft. Heisman and All-America lists from Wikipedia (CC BY-SA), draft picks from CollegeFootballData.com.

The Big Sky Conference is a nonprofit. Its IRS Form 990 for the year to June 2025 reports $16.9 million in revenue, $3.6 million of it from officials deposits, and $16.8 million in expenses; it ended the year with $3.9 million in assets. Its best-paid, commissioner Thomas Wistrcill, was paid $435,000.

From the organization’s IRS Form 990, via ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer and the IRS’s e-file data. Fiscal years end in June; top pay is the best-paid person’s total compensation on the return, listed for e-filed years (2018 on). Grants are the ones the conference lists on Schedule I; bowl payments are the ones bowls list on theirs. See every filing at ProPublica (EIN 87-0622708).
