With Boise State defecting from the WAC to the Mountain West starting in 2011, it will be interesting to see what WAC officials try to do.

I'm not sure about you guys, but noticing less mention of Texas FCS schools and more mention of those FCS and NCAA independents in the 'western world' as potential add-ons...

Whether the WAC is slipping this out or not, it's a change of pace from when TXST and UTSA were once mentioned...


In terms of independents or Division 1-AA schools, Utah Valley University, Denver, UC Davis, Montana, Sacramento State, Northern Colorado, Cal-Poly and Weber State would be viable choices. They are all close and relatively close to other WAC schools. University of the Pacific in Stockton would be another good addition, but the Tigers don’t play football anymore.
