You need to replace the Kibbie Dome to stay viable at the top level of college football.

RE: Idaho.....
Could keep the WAC going if you guys got the new commissioner off his butt and got some new teams into it right away. When is the drop dead date anyway?

Think he was talking about for the conference.
That would mean the WAC died today.
But that June 1st date is for FCS teams to file, doubt it would be the same as the drop dead date for the WAC.

RE: Idaho.....
I know it is from Bleacher Report but it is one of the best articles I have seen from them.

http://bleacherreport.com/articles/11971...n-division


Quote:The reason a lot of general sports fans think the FBS side of the WAC is dead is because they look at the NCAA rules as carved in stone.

Here is the rule on moving up to the FBS level.

20.4.2.1.2 Notification/Application Requirement. The chancellor or president from a Football Championship Subdivision institution that intends to petition for reclassification to the Football Bowl Subdivision, per Bylaw 20.4.2, shall submit to the national office written notice of the institution’s intention to reclassify and a completed application. The notice and application shall be received in the national office (by mail or electronic transmission) not later than June 1 two years prior to the August 1 when the institution intends to reclassify to the Football Bowl Subdivision. Any form received after June 1 shall be postmarked not later than May 25. The notice and application shall be accompanied by a $5,000 fee and a strategic plan that addresses the Division I philosophy statement (see Bylaw 20.9) and the athletics certification program operating principles (see Bylaw 22.2). If the institution fails to qualify for membership in the Football Bowl Subdivision, the application fee shall be refunded, less any expenditure for educational costs related to the reclassification process. (Adopted: 4/28/05, Revised: 3/8/06, 12/15/06, 1/15/11 effective 8/1/11)

A general follower of the games looks at that and looks at the fact only two teams are currently scheduled to play in the WAC in 2013 and says, "This means the WAC has until today to get six schools to fax in their intention to play FBS ball in 2013 otherwise their football conference will be in violation of the minimum number of teams rules in football. There is no way the WAC survives as an FBS conference!"



Well, that's not the whole picture. The WAC in 2012 will have seven football playing members --- one below the number required to remain labelled as an FBS conference. Currently the rules spell out that there is a 2 year grace period for the WAC to rebuild, meaning really that all the WAC has to do is have 8 football-playing, all-sports members by 2014 to retain their "FBS conference" designation.

In those terms, really all the WAC needs is 6 schools to submit their intent paperwork by June 1st, 2013. They have a full year.

And if those teams miss the 2013 deadline? It isn't like the NCAA will dismantle the WAC or prevent their league office from coordinating and managing football. Frankly the current rules state the WAC would still be able to invite replacements up from the FCS level at that point.

For Idaho & New Mexico State, it's either the Big Sky or the Mountain West. independence isn't an option.

Big Sky North: Eastern Washington, Idaho, Idaho State, Montana, Montana State, North Dakota, Portland State, Sacramento State
Big Sky South: Cal-Davis, Cal Poly, New Mexico State, Northern Arizona, Northern Colorado, Southern Utah, Weber State

OR

RE: Idaho.....
Independence is a fine option for both if it's only going to be for a year or two while the WAC invites FCS teams or whatever.

I would say that Idaho does not want to join the Big Sky because if they do they will need get an invite back into the FBS. So what option do they have since the Mountain West has show no interest in them.

RE: Idaho.....
Independence for a couple of years could work for both IF the WAC plans on rebuilding with FCS teams. I'm not sure what the status of that is. But neither school has to have a conference invite right away to survive.

If the WAC does fall apart completely as a football conference, Idaho has only one option and that's the Big Sky. New Mexico State would find a home.
