Before the WAC addded Idaho in 2005, Benson devised a plan for further expansion. This was a plan that got the green light from the proposed additions.
Benson proposed the WAC add North Texas, the...
If football programs were all that mattered, Appalachain State, Troy, and Louisiana Tech would have been added to CUSA years ago, and Montana would already be a member of the MWC.
17,408 enrollment
22.7 million budget
#8 TV market
166 million endowment
I can tell you this. Over on the SBC board, ArkStfan ran the BCS numbers, and the current lineup of SBC schools has a higher BCS average than the projected MWC division of the Alliance.
Also,...
There was one proposal that Benson made to the WAC presidents in 2005 that would have saved WAC football.
He proposed that the WAC go to 12 schools by adding North Texas, LaLaff, Arkansas State,...
BCS cartel may ditch the AQ rule this winter.
Until it is known definitively one way or the other what they will do, BYU will not budge.
If they, in fact, do ditch the AQ, I gurantee you that...

There are 3 scenarios where anything resembling a new SWC will form.
1) BIG 12 shrinks.
This could come about by losing Colorado to the PAC-10. Then, deciding to consolidate back to the SWC...
You may be right.

...But, if they don't leave, I'm willing to bet Louisiana Tech's days as a WAC member are numberered.

Look, nobody is a more WAC friendly Cajun fan than I am. I think the SBC leaves a lot to be desired.
As for your post, just what do you think the WAC is doing RIGHT NOW?
They are begging...
As long as the WAC has Boise State, they will never expand again beyond Las Cruces.
But, if Boise were to go to the MWC, there will be possibilities.
One such scenario could be this if Idaho...

---All eleven conference champions get bid.
---Next 13 highest BCS ranked schools get bid, total of 24.
---Highest 8 seeds get first round bye.
---Seeds 9-24 begin First round...
The time to cash in chips would have been a couple of years ago.
Had you guys switched to the SBC after the CUSA schools left, and after the SBC schools said no thanks to the WAC, that would...
Lord knows I've tried to persuade our people of the benefits of being a member of the WAC.
Forming an E-WAC would have been great, but that door has closed for good.
To me, your situation...
There should be a countdown to the Splitting of CUSA clock somewhere.
I'm tellin' you guys. ANY changes to CUSA's Eastern front will lead to a CUSA/SBC rearrangement.
There are 21 1-A...
Everything I read points to the Big East adding a FB-only member NOW.
Leading candidate appears to be Navy.
Most everyone now believes that the Big East will split come 2010.

....but, if you could convince one more school to go 1-A, this would be VERY doable:
Hawaii
San Jose State
Fresno State
Nevada
Boise State
Utah State
New Mexico State
I believe this scenario was floated and shot down by the western block
Hawaii
Idaho
Boise State
San Jose State
Fresno State
Nevada
Utah State

What's worse....
Disclosing the name of a NON-COVERT agent?
or
Disclosing the very means by which we are stopping another 3000 Americans from being slaughtered?

To the contrary Chuck, I worked EXTREMELY HARD for the WAC option when it was offerred to North Texas and the Cajuns last go round. Unfortunately, I was in the minority at the time, and our...
I love it. So, you are now the purveyor of proper names?
Please tell me. Who bestowed such magical powers on you?

Man, I come on here and try to be friendly, and you guys just want to bicker about nonsense.
What I was trying to say was that if the SBC future doesn't look any brighter than it is now, in...
