Wac Calling Again In A Few Hours

[Arkstfan]

Hawaii press conference at 11:00pm Central tonight announcing they are joining MWC for football and Big West other sports.

WAC loses auto bids in 2012 and is once again one school short of being a legal FBS league.

Good move for the MWC, I don't see how La Tech will stay.

private donors??? karl malone???

[Arkstfan]

Think Tech is puckered?

What about UTSA and Texas State. League is down to 7 football schools. New rule provides you can't move up unless you have an offer from an FBS conference. Takes 8 to be a conference. NCAA might say "well there were enough when you were invited" or might say... humm tough break there fellas.

The University of Hawaii will join the Mountain West Conference for football, sources confirmed to KITV4.

Invite Texas State & UTSA and kill the WAC. Then La Tech / NMSU would have no choice but to join the Belt

then rename the belt the big 13???

Hey let's face it , we aren't going to beat out any of the major conferences with quality so let's do it with quanity.

[GrayEagle]

The Big 14. By the time UTSA and Texas State could become eligible South Alabama will have already moved up.

Besides, the MAC already has 13 for football.

[KoldBeer]

This could get interesting because I'm not sure what the WAC does now. Also, I don't know if this means TCU is going to Big East or if this is to help TCU stay.

[Green Mean]

I didn't see this coming but it's a great move on both Hawaii's part and the MWC's part. If you're NMSU, LTU, USU, and Idaho, I really don't see any incentive for them staying in the WAC unless they can maybe capitalize on it and win multiple conference championships?

[Arkstfan]

Hawaii called a press conference to say they are close to a deal but haven't done the deal.

Ladies and gentlemen, in the category of weirdest college athletic program, your unanimous winner is.... Hawaii.

Well.. this is good news I think. The Sunbelt just needs to take NMSU and Utah State. This will hobble La Tech's program (no reason for a 3rd LA school in our conference) and help ULL and ULM's recruiting. This will also kill the Texas State and UTSA threat which will give us 2 less schools to compete with in recruiting. Yay us.

I installed the first message board and was the site's tech guru for a year or so. Harry and I go back a bit. In fact last time I was in DFW he was kind enough to pick me up and tote me to the game where I consumed all the free beer I could get my hands on.

[meangreen]

haha ok everyone just needs to change their tampons. I'm not trying to stir up a fight, I was just curious about him! geez

[Travis]

The La tech board is cracking me up. Is it bad I don't feel sorry for them?!

With Hawaii leaving, NOW is the time for the SBC to expand into Divisions.

East

FIU

FAU

Troy

SouAla

Muts

WKU

Ark St

West

ULL

La Tech

ULM

UNT

NMSU

*either Utah St & Idaho.....or UTSA & TxState

Say no to the Kibbie

First, son of a bitch. This sucks.

With that out of the way, I guess I should pump some sunshine. With UH out of the picture, the longest road trip, and biggest suck to the travel budget are gone. Maybe that entices someone who wasn't previously interested. Also, it completely opens up football, volleyball, and the diamond sports to make it anyone's game.

I have got to think positive because this week has already been a roller coaster. I figured something like this would happen. The Bobcats are used to that gut-renching 8th Inning meltdowns, 4th quarter loses. Why should our transition to FBS be any different.

Who's left that's any good in football in the WAC if Hawaii is indeed leaving?
