On WAC expansion:

Spear said the WAC continues to explore expansion, and that recent NCAA legislation changes have bolstered the conference's ability to add teams — particularly from the FCS ranks.

While the NCAA changed the rule requiring conferences to have at least six football-playing schools together for at least five years, Spear explained another “piece of a legislation that in order for a school to consider a football bowl subdivision conference they have to be invited by an existing FBS conference. If we look at the landscape out West and we look at the schools that have expressed interesting in joining the FBS conference, we think the WAC is the only conference that’s going to be in position to invite them.”

“I’m pretty confident,” Spear continued, “the Pac-10 is not going to invite an FCS school. The Mountain West is not going to do that. But the WAC is certainly in position to grow our membership and invite schools because of that legislation. So we’re working hard. We’re moving forward. We’ve had many meetings, and we’ll have another meeting next Friday down in Las Vegas.

“Things are involving and I hope we will grow the WAC membership beyond the eight schools we have for 2012.”

What are you apologizing for? This disappoints no one. Well, outside of definitely CajunNation, that is.

This article is just the sanity check this board needs.

My comment was in jest; it was intended for the fans of the Texas Twins that are certain the new, unstable WAC is going to raid the stable and growing/prospering SBC . .

Some of those Texas Twin folks posting on the WAC board seriously need a reality check. They have just taken over the board and if you challenge or question any thing they say; watch out they go ballistic !
Buy 'em for what they are worth then sell 'um for what they think they are worth and boom; you're an instant multi-billionaire !

I saw they were already talking about rivalries, yet, one of those twins hasn't even fielded a team yet.

The one that has not even fielded a team and has not a leg to stand on seems to have the most uninformed and obnoxious fans . . they are in for a rude awakening . .
