Saving the WAC...It could be the end, or a new beginning.

I've been examining Twitter for the past week looking for news on the WAC Funeral March, and here are the rumors floating around.

1.  NMSU is one of four teams being considered for two slots in the Sun Belt Conference as they look to expand to 12.  The other three are Georgia Southern, Appalachian State and Jacksonville State.  Considering the rationality of the candidates, I would consider NMSU a long shot.

2.  The WAC has extended an invite to Texas-Pan American, the sole remaining non-football member of the the Southland Conference.  They are also expected to invite Chicago State.

If #1 does not happen and #2 does, the WAC lives on as a non-football conference with the following members:

Chicago State
CS-Bakersfield
Grand Canyon
New Mexico State
Idaho
Utah Valley
Seattle
Texas Pan-American

Idaho and NSMU will have FCS independent football.  Therefore, I would invite at least two more members as a buffer.
