If a D-1 conference wants Southern Indiana, it's more about the schools in that conference than someone else's school. The NCAA has minimum standards, but generally goes along with the member conferences on these decisions.

If they're trying to get into Evansville's conference, yeah, that's a problem. It's less of a problem if Evansville is a black sheep in that conference and the other schools vote Southern Indiana in for spite... but that's an entertaining hypothetical and nothing to do with reality.

The question to ask in this case... is the WAC kind of a beggar? Or how much of a beggar are they? In reality, I don't see any GNAC schools stepping up to the plate, so the WAC kind of dodges the question here.

However, my question: would the WAC be negligent by not asking any GNAC institutions about their desire to move up?
