WAC heard the news that Chicago State is leaving D1 to join D2's GLVC to replace Bellarmine who accepted an A-Sun invite.

That probably should happen- but probably won't. It would make sense given Chicago State's situation.

Quote:The other news is that UMKC accepted the invite to rejoin the Summit as D2's Augustana also accepted the invite.

I think that is probably better than a 50/50 chance. I think UC-Colo Springs has potential for the WAC and moving up could align with the school's ambitions.

But I don't think the other schools would gain much for all the additional expense to move up to D1.
Will CWU pick up any more students from Yakima, 40 miles away? Will they pull students from Pullman, 180 miles away from Wazzu?
I don't think the other schools survive the Cost-Benefit Analysis in regards to a move to D1. Of course, I might have said the same for Dixie State as well.

CWU like WSU pull a ton of their student population from the Seattle metro CWU has also played home football games in Bothell at Pop Keeney Stadium in the past...
