I know that getting into an auto bid conference help with recruiting, but are people glad to be in the WAC than the Big West? It seems like CSUB has set itself apart from other Big West schools by being in the WAC. Especially, when the conference is rated much higher than the Big West.

Honestly, I never hear BW even come up in conversation anymore. FWIW, I'm just a baseball season ticket holder, but not a big doner or someone I'd label an insider who is privy to the inner circle workings and thoughts. I just think fans want to be successful at whatever conference. I think improvement is also big on the wish list. We had a grest history in DII. When we moved to DI, i think some following....lowered expectations, and rightly so....to an extent, and for a time. While nobody is thinking NCAA champs like the DII (in MBB anyway) days, I think success is pumping new life into an old fan base. I think we see things like NCAA tourney appearances, NIT wins, etc as constant improvement. That's my take. So, i think most are happy with the WAC. I am anyway. Also to be noted, ehen we began DI, there really wasn't a WAC option, like it exists now (different times=different WAC). The BW wss really the only conference fit at that time. Times have changed now.

Currently mobile....but not necessarily upwardly.
