Out Of WAC
The WAC announced its criteria today for adding new members with the imminent departure of Fresno State and Nevada.
Here it is:
Academics
Attendance
Budgets
Location/transportation
Market size
Recent program success
Sports sponsorship
Is this what Larry Scott used when he added Utah?
My predictions: Concordia and Harvey Mudd.
Time resurrect Fullerton, Long Beach and Pacific
The MWC should take them in
If they took them in, BYU would be screwed.
Why would BYU be screwed? BYU is going independent in football and to the the WCC in basketball and all other sports.
Here's a possibility: The MWC takes HI from the WAC & Houston from C-USA, expands to 12 & splits into divisions with a conference championship game. C-USA replaces Houston with Troy State from the Sun Belt. What's left of the WAC merges with the Sun Belt, which expands to 13 & splits into divisions with a conference championship game.
