lucrative, and these FCS schools already have access to the full NCAA tournaments in the other sports without having to move football up to FBS. The Big Sky teams all currently compete for a spot in the NCAA men's basketball tournament and for the other tournaments (volleyball, soccer, etc.).

In all seriousness, probably best for BYU-I to shoot for the Big Sky.
