So I've learned in my short time here that Basketball is the topic of choice. And that's ok with me, as I'm an equal-opportunity supporter, but it's no secret I do love me some football. I know Tarleton was looking at the SLC for a long time as move-up conference, and for whatever reason it didn't pan out...but we'lll save that for another discussion..

I also know that one of the deciding factors for Tarleton moving into the WAC was the promise of a future WAC football conference. I was really excited to hear that, as I live out West and would love to see Tarleton playing teams out here other than the same ol-same ol D2 or SLC teams. It's great for recruiting, great for exposure, and in my opinion, great for long-term stability...IF the WAC can pull it all together.

So my questions are:
How does this league eventually come together? I could see WTAMU and Angelo coming over as move-up options from Texas, but what about teams out west?
I was under the assumption it would be an FCS league, but learned here that WAC still holds their FBS card and are reluctant to let ot go.. So which will it be?
Right now there are only 3 football-playing schools; 2 FCS and 1 FBS. Is it possible that NMSU will drop down to FCS and start winning some games? But then what you do about that WAC FBS card?

Forgive me if this has all been discussed before, but I need some answers!
