Forgive me if this has already been posted. I just read (on an Idaho fan site) that North Texas has turned down a WAC invitation, and Montana has done the same. I think that Montana would have been a strong addition to the WAC. N. Texas also, but I am not surprised that they said "no."
At this point the WAC is in desperate . . . and I mean desperate . . . shape. I'm trying to figure out a scenario by which that conference can survive. Merge with the Sunbelt Conference? That does not seem likely.
If Hawaii goes indy, and, as seems quite possible to me, Louisiana Tech joins either the Sunbelt or Conference USA, where does that leave SJSU, Idaho, Utah State, and New Mexico State?
Oh, yes, they have the two new members coming in from Texas, but that still adds up to only six members. They must somehow get two more, and I don't see another school that is a viable candidate. That being the case, one has to wonder whether the new Texas schools might reconsider joining the WAC.
