State of the WAC – Part 3: WAC Winners and Losers The WAC realignment over the past few months has been filled with all sorts of drama. We’ve had a huge grab for regional power foiled at the last second by WAC members sabotaging from within. We’ve had recovery momentum build, new schools pledge allegiance [...]
This weekend, I’ll be presenting a (3) part article on the state of the WAC. The first part will cover the current state of the WAC in regards to what has happened and what it all means. The second will cover what else we could see happen or in other words, what else could possibly [...]
State of the WAC – Part 2:What Else Could Possibly Go Wrong? The quick answer: EVERYTHING. As we’ve seen in every other instance of conference realignment, there is always the impending “trickle down”. When one conference at the top of the pecking order makes a move, the next conference below follows and so on. For the [...]
They might be thousands of miles off the mainland, but Hawaii is about to shake things up in the conference landscape. Hawaii apparently has a handshake deal with the Mountain West to join for football only. Their other sports would likely be moved to the Big West. While all eyes focused on the football moves [...]
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 [...]
If it holds, it will be a happy day in Seattle and at the three other schools as invitations are expected to be issued within 30 days. It appears that Montana will be left out of the first round of WAC expansion. Tyler Mayforth of the San Marcos Daily Record is reporting that the two [...]
This past Tuesday, the WAC got to have it’s taste (albeit a small one) of conference realignment power. During this past round of conference expansion between the Big Ten, Pac-10, Big 12 and MWC…it was the WAC at the bottom of the pecking order. And the result was 1/3 of the league leaving. Remaining is [...]
UPDATE: 10 schools interested in WAC:Confirmed: UTSA, Texas St., Denver, SeattleMultiple Sources: Montana & Lamar to give formal presentations. That would be 6 of the total 10 schools. There have already been informal discussions between the WAC and some prospective new members such as UTSA. But the formal process will begin on September 28th. UTSA and Texas [...]
Looks like Texas St. is planning to expand their stadium from the current 15,908 capacity by another 13,500. Since they currently average far lower than that 15k, this is a move that screams “FBS upgrade”. The project is expected to cost roughly $32 million. Texas St. could perhaps upgrade and join a conference like the [...]
Let’s face it LA Tech fans, being in the WAC now is a liability & not the advantage it was a year ago compared to the Sunbelt. Since 2001, LA Tech has been a member of the WAC. Many have questioned their membership as the conference was comprised of schools as west as Hawaii, San [...]
