Sac St and Portland St were part of the failed experiment to add Pacific schools from markets, along with long departed CSU Northridge (in Big West now). I'd like both to leave the Big Sky. Both can remain football affiliates, as long as needed. Both can either join the WAC, or Sac St can join the Big West. That's what I want to see.

That would give four decent sets of geographic pairs (EW-Idaho, Montanas, ID St-Weber St, N AZ-S UT) plus an outlier in N CO. I'd take N CO in the Summit in a second, if that were a thing. Though it could also look at joining the WAC with Big Sky football affiliation.

They will play one final year in the SBC in 2017 then drop to FCS.

That's the working theory.

It's never too late for the right thing to be done ...
