that is the most likely scenario for both to get in. Also possible the remaining eight members are content as is.
Personally, I am okay with UCSD as long as someone outside California comes along too. But that requires a little vision, something the conference lacks.
There's little chance of UH leaving the Big West. Besides being the best geographic fit for UH of any D-1 conference, it's solidly competitive in most of the sports UH cares about, e.g. men's and women's volleyball, beach volleyball, baseball and softball. Men's basketball would be better off in the MWC but the mountain division MWC schools want nothing to do with road trips to Honolulu.
The BW sponsors Beach??
Yes, CSUB is an affiliate for WBVB (sorry, I just think calling it "Sand Volleyball" is sacrilegious )
Sac State is an affiliate too.
