Then Conf - USA calls on UNT. However, this does not sit well with the eastern divison members. After further deliberations concerning travel cost, the CUSA president calls for a "Parlay" with the SBC president. After further discussion and discourse and the exchange of a schillings of gold a realignment and partnership is agreed to not unlike the PAC 12 and New Big 12 (trademark infringement). The result being

What of the impending reclassification of SDSU? (It is SDSU, not SJSU, right?)

What happens when they finally decide that they can't afford to play FBS ball?

San Jose St. is the program that has been rumored to be dropping football.

San Diego St. is in really good shape right (good football team and ranked in basketball).

Thanks, I couldn't find anything about either on a quick google search.

Is this just being overlooked? Seems like they'd be a big obstacle in the WAC's future viability.

I could not find anything either.

Note: SJSU has over 31,000 students enrolled with 7,000 being grad students. So it has the alumni base to be profitable.

I'm still holding out for Memphis, Tulane and UAB.

Does the comment today by the WV AD make this more likely now?
