RE: UMKC Expected to Leave WAC, Rejoin Summit
I think recruiting UC level athletes is the sticking point. UC admissions are almost Ivy League. The Big West has 4 UC schools lacking the "wink wink nod nod" UCLA and Cal get in taking UC minimum qualifiers.

There just are not a lot of D-I level kids who qualify for UC or who do and are willing to give up their preferred majors to play sports there. Having 4 UCs is bad enough competing for those kids, adding a 5th would be a huge problem. Worse all the schools in the Big West know UCSD would have a recruiting advantage for those kids over them. (Irvine and Riverside are nobody's first choice)
