Message: [QUOTE="TexanMark, post: 278738, member: 35"] Lots of movement below us the past few days. The WAC is dead as a FB conference for the time being...UTSA, TX State, Utah State, San Jose State and La Tech all moving. NM St and Idaho either have to downgrade and join the Big Sky, maybe NM St gets a lifeline with the SunBelt or they go Indy and offer themselves up to November games in Provo. Idaho I think is definitely screwed even though they were once in the SunBelt. Boise State is looking for a home for their non FB sports and the WAC dying screws up their plan. [url]http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/story/18912164/onceproud-and-large-wac-on-its-death-bed-and-thats-a-shame[/url] C-USA is expanding: Newbies FIU (SunBelt) and UTSA (Southland/FB Newbie/WAC) will join more established schools UNT (SunBelt) and LaTech (WAC). UTSA is the fastest rising program in college football history (faster than the directional FL schools in the 90s). 2011 First year indy, 2012 WAC provisional 1A, 2013 CUSA provisonal 1A...they play in the AlamoDome and averaged 35,521 in their first season. [url]http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/blog/brett-mcmurphy/18873583[/url] Sunbelt is rumored to be adding TX St (Southland/WAC) and UTexas-Arlington (Southland) along with GaSt (Indy newbie) to replace UNT and FIU which are leaving to C-USA. TX State is a really good add for the SunBelt. I expect they won't stay there too long.

Finally, Rutgers is still mulling over unsolicited mega-offers among the SEC, Pac 10 and Big 10...then again they might skip college and enter directly into the NFL for 2013 (some say their ordained destiny as befitting the original national champ of 1869) [/QUOTE]
