Just because the University of Hawai'i knows what conference it will be playing in a year from this summer doesn't mean UH knows who it will be playing when the 2005-06 school year arrives.

One way or another, indications are that the membership of the Western Athletic Conference, UH's home for the last quarter century, could be headed for additional reshuffling in the next three months.

The result could be as drastic as shrinking the width of the nation's most geographically dispersed Division I-A conference by more than 800 miles, slicing off the entire central time zone for the 2005-06 academic year, or as minor as adding one more school along its existing 4,035-mile, five time-zone span.

Everything between eight and 10-team models has been discussed at recent meetings, participants said. For example, if Louisiana Tech departs, options include adding North Texas or Idaho. Should Louisiana Tech remain, the conference will consider inviting North Texas or Louisiana-Lafayette.

I recommend reading the entire article.

I am anxious to see the decision come down, so the WAC can react to it. All I want is a little stability.

Best case scenario is La Tech stays and UNT joins.

That would be the best scenario for the WAC. Someday the MWC will raid the WAC. The WAC really needs to expand to 12 teams to survive over the long term. Taking the best 3 or 4 teams out of the Sun Belt would seem to be the best solution for long term stability.

You all can have N. Texas. If you want me to bust their myth I will.
