ORU leave slc, slc replace them with UTRG. why? no doubt in my mind UTRG will add football.

3 loses to the wac.

NMSU gets all sports in the Sunbelt, something I am predicting.

4 wac loses.

Idaho has no choice but to find a new home....

The Golden Triangle humidity must be affecting your brain. Idaho is leaving for the Big Sky. The WAC is providing a D1 Auto Bid Conference for schools like CSUB, Seattle, Utah Valley, UTRG, Grand Canyon and Chicago State. They are all happy to be in the WAC.

The WAC paid UMKC's exit fee of $250,000 and waived the entry fee of $450,000. UMKC got some vague promises of the WAC post-season tournament moving to Kansas City in the future. UMKC does not play baseball. The Summit needed additional baseball schools (they only have five). The WAC does not (they have ten).

NMSU is in a good situation either way. Right now, the WAC is an easier path to the NCAA Tournament. If the MWC decided to add a 12th school for olympic sports, they are right there. They are probably better off staying in the WAC for now.

who is utrg..are you referring to ut-panam in edinburg. they will never have enough money to add football..

UT Pan American is merging with UT Brownsville to form UT Rio Grande Valley, and will now have access to the UT Foundation money
