A Missouri Valley School Looking West

[DFW HOYA]

Wichita State talking about reviving football, but not in the MVFC.

"Individuals representing Wichita State's athletic interests have approached the Mountain West Conference about membership, multiple sources told CBS Sports. Led by president John Bardo, Wichita State has been exploring its conference options in basketball and football. Last year, Bardo commissioned an ongoing feasibility study to bring football back to the athletic program. The school dropped the sport in 1986."

Guess the Koch brothers need something to spend their money on now that Trump is the nominee.

Cool, good for WSU. It would be great if they could get into the MWC and revive football.

If they are getting funds from private boosters, great!

But I thought the state of Kansas had a gigantic revenue problem under Brownback's tax cut policies. Bad timing if Wichita wants to revive football (especially considering what's going on in other states)....

Could be NMSU's saving grace, if the MWC doesn't want to have an odd number of football schools. Though they could just kick Hawaii football out...

WTF? Why wouldnt they be looking at the SUPPOSED WAC/BSC conference merger? :D
