WAC – With Boise State gone and Fresno State, Hawaii and Nevada departing at the end of this season, the WAC is on life support. Louisiana Tech, Idaho, Utah State, San Jose State and New Mexico State are left to pickup the pieces, while Texas State and UT-San Antonio will join as provisional members next season. However, 2011 will be the first year UTSA has fielded a football team. Even with the additions of Texas State and UTSA, the WAC still needs to add more teams. Montana, Montana State, Lamar, Cal Poly, Sacramento State and Sam Houston State have all been rumored as potential candidates, but none is ready to make the jump. Even with those seven teams in the fold for 2012, the WAC has been downgraded behind the Sun Belt as the worst league in college football. If the Mountain West decides to add two more teams (Utah State and San Jose State?) to get to 12, the WAC will be in serious trouble.

It certainly means the Sun Belt is not a loser in the realignment as the WAC clearly was.
