We're 18 minutes from tip-off for the first of two semi-finals games. Four good programs with 20 wins or more each are about to play... it's a testament to the increasing quality of the WAC as a conference.

If a team wants to leave, that's on them; I wish them well. If a team wants to join, all the better. I'll believe either when there's an official announcement from the WAC Commissioner. Right now though, it's all about the teams that are in the conference and are competing for the auto-bid.

Crimson - Is there a possibility of moving all of the expansion/realignment type threads to the WAC Smack/Off Topic forum? Not that there's anything wrong with talking about it, but these threads tend to be less about WAC teams and current results, and more about programs from other parts of the country that involve posters who aren't really following any current member schools. Not at all trying to be disrespectful to any posters who follow/contribute to these threads, but threads like this can detract from the excitement of the here and now. WAC-Vegas!!!

This had to do with UMKC who is in the WAC. Crimson also posted a thread about them losing money and not competitive in the WAC. I did not post this in that thread because it would be a hijacking. This is a legit news articles that have to do with UMKC and the Summit.

There is only one sentence in this article about UMKC. They are listed as a possible expansion target should the Summit expand. Your subject title of "UMKC to the Summit" is very misleading. You could have called it "UNC to the Summit." They got a sentence as well. The article just talks about potential expansion targets if the Summit were to expand.
