With BYU going to the Big12 in 2022 or 2023, does Seattle have a shot at the West Coast Conference?

It would be best for all if that happens then the WAC can look at rebuilding/expansion with a west and southwest division.

I would propose going after West Texas A&M, Colorado Mesa, and Colorado St. - Pueblo as well as trying to entice Northern Arizona from the Big Sky. This could give 12 football members with 16 for Olympic sports. Go to the 4 pod system to keep travel down and have a natural rivalry with the Big Sky and whatever remains of the Southland or ASUN.

Sweet….another thread on expansion.

No one has ever thought of these things or posted about them before...

Seattle currently has a better shot at joining CUSA than WCC....

Unleash the KRACKEN!

Matt Brown recently said the WCC was “considering” SU, CBU, and GCU. Or at least they have been discussed.

If SU & CBU were to get an invite to the WCC, and you look at a map of the WAC footprint...

There is a lot of open range to explore east of Utah and north of Texas.

Let me rephrase that for Matt Brown: Texas WAC Schools tell SU, CBU, and GCU to either add football, or get to steppin'

If Gonzaga leaves, Seattle U is a shoe-in imo (good pairing with GCU). As long as Gonzaga is there, I don't think it'll happen. Luckily, sounds like Zags are on their way out
