Quick little update, this one coming to you from the heart of Georgia, Macon.
Did you catch the news that the WAC is suggesting that 2012 may be its swan song because it likely won't have enough member schools after this year's departures.
Currently, this is the WAC:
Denver, Lousiana Tech, Idaho, New Mexico State, Seattle, Texas-Arlington, Texas-SanAntonio, Texas-San Marcos, and Utah State.
Leaving:
Lousiana Tech and Texas-SanAntonio to Conference USA
SanJose State and Utah State to Mountain West
Texas-Arlington and Texas-San Marcos to the Sun Belt.
I am overwhelmed with apathy, as were the 19 former members of the WAC, including some really big names, e.g Boise and TCU. It's like your high school girlfriend who broke up with you ends up as the Playboy centerfold and you're still working the drive thru window at Wendy's...and Wendy's just told you they're closing.
On a related note, if you think you don't have enough of a crowd playing D1, Abilene Christian and Incarnate Word have announced that they're going D1. Abilene Christian has 4,600 students and is located in (fill in the blanks) _ _ _ _ _ _ _, TX. University of the Incarnate Word is located in Alamo Heights, TX (really) and has 8,500 students.
They're both heading for the Southland Conference. If you want to know who else is there, in the Southland, click here. It's not an elite list.
Maybe the WAC survivors should call the Southland?
