Wyoming
Colorado St
Utah
BYU

there was no way to split the WAC 16 to make that happen. Not even swapping Tulsa out for Nevada.

That's why we had the Airport meeting.

You only need one or the other, not both. In any case, either of those schools were willing to be in the western division so that Air Force could be in the eastern division. But by then, I guess it didn't matter.

Utah needs to be grouped with its rivals remember?

OK, so if the WAC had opted for a more western add like Nevada over a more eastern one like Tulsa, they could have indeed had two permanent divisions that would make almost everyone happy:

Mountain: Air Force, BYU, CSU, Rice, SMU, TCU, Utah, Wyoming
Pacific: Fresno, Hawaii, Nevada, SDSU, SJSU, UMN, UNLV, UTEP
