Why aren’t the WAC posters, for consistency sake, getting all upset over the WAC becoming an FCS League? It would take at least seven years to even get an autobid and there isn’t any pot of money at the end of the line and you would not be protected from defections for at least five years ( an autobid would take two more). But this same group claimed I was insane for posting the Cal Poly, Sac St, UCDavis, UTRGV, NMSU and three other Souland schools wanted to be FBS in the WAC and qualify for at least a $10 million CFP pot annually after 2025 is now totally happy with seeking FCS status by 2027 with no money incentive.

In return for taking other conferences schools, the WAC will recruit FCS schools to replace them as a gentleman’s agreement. The WAC is the only conference that can extend FBS bids. UCDavis etc would be insane if they waived that bye-bye. Liberty moved up on its own, but it would take a veritable fortune to do it, and Liberty has that cash.

The Big Sky and Southland can’t recruit now without fans knowing something is up and rebelling as both leagues are bloated now. So the WAC will do their dirty work and no one would be wiser. Tarleton St leadership would be insane for a WAC FCS League just as Dixie St leadership would be for a WAC FCS League. And why is Metro St even in the running as it doesn’t help an FCS WAC? Metro St will provide a Olympic travel partner for No Colo in the new cheaper Big Sky.

Why wasn’t the WAC adding schools years ago if they wanted insurance against Chicago St, UMKC and NMSU leaving? The WAC was just plainly incompetent or these movement have been planned for years as UCDavis et al could not be FBS in time for the CFP payout in 2012. The Big West added UCSD and Bakersfield because they were informed by Davis and Poly of their impending departure. Again, a gentlemen’s agreement to not leave hurt feeling behind but preplanning instead. Something big is about to occur but the posters here are just clueless.
