As reported last week, the WAC timetable for expansion seems to be holding and the conference is expected to expand as early as next week.

There does appear to be one potential change of plans.

UTSA and Texas St. are expected to receive formal invitations next week. Denver, a non-football member will also get one and expected to accept. Seattle however seems to be the odd school out. If had appeared that they had finally found a conference home when the 6 team WAC laid out initial plans to invite the two new football schools to get to 8 members, and Denver and Seattle to get to 10 basketball members. However, reports now claim that the WAC will likely expand with the 8/9 model and invite only Denver. In doing so, it would leave an all-sports opening for Montana to upgrade down the road.

For Seattle, it appears they’ll have to cross their fingers and hope for a WCC invitation.
