If you are following where the conference expansion carousel is spinning, you know that the MWC will lose the last of the Big Three as TCU is rumored to accept an invite to join the Big East for football. The MWC has countered by inviting Hawaii as a football-only member.
This leaves that WAC with eight. One of those schools is a non-football program and another will not play their first football game until this fall. Of the seven remaining WAC football games, one program plays their first football games in 2011.
For Karl Benson, it has become a nightmare that he cannot wake up from. After Hawaii, the next program to leave will be Utah State. That is where it will likely end, I believe.
How desperate is the WAC now? Will Montana join with Montana State? What about Sacramento State, Portland State or even Weber State or Northern Arizona? It is time for all of these options to be on the table.
Did you know? Montana was once part of the PCC, a precursor to the PAC-12 and that Northern Arizona was part of the Border Conference whose members included Arizona and Arizona State as well as UTEP and New Mexico?
