I think the issue Colangelo and Carruthers have is the stability of the WAC. If they can swing a move to the Horizon together, and CSUB joins UCSD in a Big West expansion, that pretty much finishes off the WAC. Chicago State will drop down to the CCAC (NAIA with D-II Basketball), and CBU will probably have to stay down in D-II if this happens in the coming year. Seattle, Utah Valley, UMKC, and UT-RGV will be stranded. My WAG is Seattle will try to get a spot in the Big Sky and UMKC in the Summit, UT-RGV the Southland.

This entire story is a repeat of the NMSU talks. So I guess the Horizon is serious about the Southwest. (I wonder if Stephen F. Austin is being discussed?)

Stu, I am only using your own words. You are calling me names because I am using your words. I don't see anything in your comments that make you seem like a fan of the WAC. GCU and NMSU are not joining a Midwest league, especially one that just lost their best team. Maybe UIC should think about joining the WAC. They could be travel partners with Chicago State.

By the way, I am a fan of the WAC and a supporter of CBU, since I live six miles from the campus. I am looking forward to watching WAC basketball live in the future.
