Interesting theory being bandied around.

WAC and Big Sky do some sort consolidation going to 16 or 18, by staying in same league with Montana State in all sports except football Montana agrees to move to FBS. Separate entity is created to administer football only FCS league that is administered by new WAC.

Also known as its late and folks are trying to figure out what is next.

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

LaTech was the last non-"new MWC" team to win it and that was 2001.

Of the remaining teams, LaTech and Utah State appear to be the clear favorites at this point.

Idaho made a bowl last year

Yes, Montana would have to be the key 8th team the WAC needs. I've heard they are tied to Montana St and MSU can't move up. Otherwise it's more FCS shopping...one of the Dakota schools? Northern Az? Mizzou St? or perhaps another SLC school? Slim pickins!

San Antonio paper article on possible Hawaii move and WAC options....

"To be perfectly blunt, the Western is probably now the worst FBS conference in America, not only lacking any name schools, but any shred of stability. The Sun Belt doesn’t have much, but it at least has the latter."

"But the fact remains that Hawaii’s isolation in the middle of the Pacific was a huge thorn in the side of most of the other schools, requiring lengthy and lucrative travel. With that thorn removed, the WAC just might be able to lure schools like North Texas that had previously resisted its advances. Not exactly an exciting option." :angry:

An article from a school whose football record is 0-0 looking down on us. Now I really have seen everything in college sports. :lol:

In a few years they'll be blogging about how dumb it was to start football.

Let's see, the New Mexico Bowl already pulled out. The Hawaii Bowl is tied to Hawaii so it's gone. The H-Bowl can't honestly say they are going to proceed with Boise ineligible for them so they will be gone soon. What bowl games do they have left?

Multiple times there have been proposals for San Jose State to just drop football. They had some well monied alums and the "WAC tradition" that kept them alive. With the budget collapse in California, anyone want to bet on them keeping FBS football?

In all honesty, we have got to feel sorry for LaTech.

They are probably the BEST WAC team reamaining surrounded NMSU, Idaho, USU, TSU, UTSA & a couple of really bad California schools......with the strong possibility (100%) of adding some more football subdivision schools to their conference.

LaTech was passed over by the MWC, probably will not be considered for the MAC, may have a chance at C-USA if CUSA decides to expand by loosing a team or two.

LaTech probably feels that they just dropped a bar of soap in the shower..............in prison.

IMHO, I would accept LaTech into the SBC.....to upgrade the competition.

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.

North Texas fans have complained for years about bigger Texas schools conspiring to keep us down. Considering that, it's ironic that you want us to do that to Texas State and UTSA.

We should be happy that two more Texas schools are moving up to the FBS. They could become good in-state opponents and potential conference rivals.

I don't want to be a part of any conference that has Texas State or UTSA.

We just got rid or Denver. Its time for the Sun Belt to drop UALR and add LA Tech and UTSA and go to full 12 team conference.

Are you kidding? We welcome alot of people.

Those little red numbers in the corner must be all my invites.

I agree. Why have any part in elevating them, while lowering ourselves at the same time? Maybe if the WAC goes away completely, the SBC can take their name and people will like us more? :lol:

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I saw USF up in the 3rd quarter, but didn't get to see the OT. Any news during the game about if Hawaii will get a new stadium too? I was sad to hear the Aloha Bowl was in such bad shape a couple years ago and it had to be abandoned.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I’m there with you as one of the few that watched it. I actually didn’t start watching until about 6 minutes left in the 4th quarter, but still got my money’s worth.

      Myrtle Beach Bowl

      I guess few saw the five overtime slugfest in Honolulu. Oh well I did and it was a blast of a game. Spartans roaring back for Coach Niumatalolo who lost his father last week. A native Hawaiian who played for UH, took his team to the Arizona Memorial for remembrance. Battling it out against a team traveling over 4,600 miles, further than any team this season including that game in Ireland 🇮🇪. That bounce in field goal to send the game into OT as the 4th quarter expired was awesome. A team building, bringing a new stadium to our league, a team seeking consecutive bowl wins after some dire years. Yeah I was one of the few that watched it. Love the storylines and shots of my old island home. It was historic. The most OT’s in bowl history Oh yeah and our conference is 3-1 in the bowl challenge. American rising. GMG

      Dave Fleming New Volleyball Coach

      This is a very surprising pick. Frankly,I don't get it; a very veteran coach; who has coached at the same D2 school forever almost. Why would this coach even be considered a good fit at NT? A .68% winning D2 coach who has apparently never coached at a higher level. Is NT cost cutting? I hope he is wildly successful, it would be hard to not be an improvement over the previous coach. However, this IMO is a very questionable choice.
