Outside of name and (ancient) history, I don't see any way in which the WAC is better than the Big Sky, especially if you have a football team. Seems very strange.

I agree the Big Sky is a much better conference than the WAC.

So ... to accomodate some Tejas schools, the NewMags, + Dixie and their FCS football pretentions, the 13 FB playing BSC schools should permit Weebe + Sue Ewe + Lord knows who (NAU maybe? They're in the footprint) else to jump ship.

I get having the four have-not BCS Utah schools in a league with the NewMags in a basketball league that might include NAU for a tightish division of six, with Tejas schools making up another division of six, or something like that. What's in it for the BSC, though? And what's in it for Weebe? They have a long, long history with the two Idaho and two Montana schools.

Agreed, makes no sense at all. Also, SUU comes off looking ungrateful since the Big Sky was under no obligation to take them in, was boycotted by Weber, and ultimately allowed them to join.

At this point the Wac isn't better than the Big Sky. Good luck on the coups. 2020 must be the year of coup attempts.

The Big Sky is way better IMHO. The WAC is full of weird little cast-offs and pay-for-admission private religious schools that are barely non-profits, and that accept everyone who applies to them who has a HS diploma (I'm looking at you Cal Baptist and Grand Canyon). At least the Big Sky's membership is 100% state sponsored schools.

Basketball matters and they would be competitive in a better league. Yes, they are terrible in football and I'm shocked they even continue to have a program.

I agree. Think about all the resources that are in that community. Great location on top of it. I think Dixie has the potential to be huge.

The Big Sky is FCS. The WAC is now FCS. I have no idea why SUU would leave the Big Sky. I guess with Dixie as a travel partner maybe it made more sense for their finances?

Maybe better for recruiting to be in a conference with 5 Texas schools? Nice to create a rivalry with Dixie (or whatever it will be called).

Wonder if this will incentivize NMSU to drop down to FCS football instead of struggling along as an FBS independent?

lolz, that's right, for some reason in my mind they were joining the FBS. Cal Baptist is also looking to start a FB program, they teamed up with the Sherman Indian School (which sits adjacent to the CBU Campus in Riverside) to share a FB stadium. Pretty sad that a private (essentially for profit) religious school has better athletics than the UC located up the freeway does.

The WAC is working towards FBS within the next decade. I'm guessing that's why SUU is jumping. They want to work their way up.

All this effort to setup a conference for FBS alignment. I think the P5 or maybe even P4 minus the Pac12 move themselves into a separate division away from FBS and the NCAA in 5 or so years.

I think that is the exact point. Once the P5 leave and become the P4 or P2, there could be an opportunity for a couple of FCS conferences to move up to FBS.

Who knows if it actually happens, but it looks like the WAC is trying to set themselves up for that kind of situation.

So that gives them 2 provisional FCS schools (Tarleton and Dixie), one marginally FBS school (NewMags), 5 FCS schools, with discussion going on to bring on another FCS (Sac St?/NAU?/), and in-house schools that might bring FB back or add FB (Cal-Baptist/UVCC).

In any case, the NewMags are now the Idaho of the WAC (Idaho kept its University Division FB status for years after being an organizing member of the college division Big Sky, which was why USU kept scheduling them home-and-home through the '60s). How long before the pressures of FBS and the WAC force the NewMags to step down a division, just like Idaho had to?

Honestly, the New Mags need to go full U of Idaho and join the ranks for FCS. I think the last time we played them we beat them by like 50 points. They need to pull the plug, they didn't even have a season in 2020*

I also can’t believe that SUU would leave the Big Sky (one of the oldest and best FCS conferences) for the new WAC. I see that as comparable to leaving the MWC for the Sun Belt, but back when the Sun Belt was just moving up to FBS.

I don’t know why they wouldn’t want to be affiliated with schools like NAU, Montana, Idaho, Weber State, UC Davis, etc.

You are right. We beat them in 2018 60-13. The Bowl season of 2017 was a different story when we let them beat us 26-20.

So adding 3 more teams to the already dilute FBS football market in Utah? Is there budget in the state coffers for this?

I'm really surprised that SUU agreed to join. SUU and Dixie are joining FCS before Weber State, LOLZ that's hilarious.
The Big Sky is FCS. The WAC is now FCS. I have no idea why SUU would leave the Big Sky. I guess with Dixie as a travel partner maybe it made more sense for their finances?
I also can’t believe that SUU would leave the Big Sky (one of the oldest and best FCS conferences) for the new WAC. I see that as comparable to leaving the MWC for the Sun Belt, but back when the Sun Belt was just moving up to FBS.

I don’t know why they wouldn’t want to be affiliated with schools like NAU, Montana, Idaho, Weber State, UC Davis, etc.
The new and improved WAC, at least -- Sam Houston, Stephen F. Austin and Lamar are all a step up from everyone in the current WAC except NMSU, and GCU in basketball (Abilene Christian is a real head-scratcher though -- maybe they needed a travel partner for Tarleton State :headscratch: ). They have the pre-packaged rivalry with Whatever Dixie Is Going To Be Called State, which they never really developed with Weber or Northern Arizona. WAC 5.0 with NMSU, GCU and SFA has potential to be a two-bid league someday. And it would give them a home for baseball if they chose to add it, which the BSC doesn't sponsor.

All that together still doesn't quite make sense to me, but it did to them, and they're the ones doing it. What's a little more surprising is the Texas schools leaving the Southland, but I suspect not everyone there was committed to making a jump to FBS.

When did Cal State Bakersfield leave the WAC?

Edit - wow I guess they did, good for them, looks like they were able to join many of their Cal State Brothers in joining the Cal Bus League: https://gorunners.com/news/2020/6/30/ge ... -west.aspx


Just another day in the (Aggie) Brotherhood
