Practically it appears to make the most sense since it will help balance basketball strength between the divisions (with NMSU on one side and SFA on the other) and since there are more candidates for the 14th conference member in Texas than in the far western states. But if NMSU fans could have it either way what would your preference be?

I think the western side fits best for NMSU. A lot more fans from NM could make the road trips to those schools than the schools on the other side of Texas. And because of our past conference history we have more familiarity with western schools.

Also it would be a shame to break up what I think is one of the best growing rivalries in the WAC in NMSU/GCU. Especially when GCU appears to be on the cusp of taking that next step up as a program. I like what I’m seeing from GCU, CBU and I think Seattle has huge potential. The Utah schools also appear to be solid adds, given time to grow. We still get to play teams in the other division, which I love because I’m currently located in S. Texas.

All things considered, the WAC made a good move with all this. I’m super satisfied with the way things turned out. Mr. Peanut would be proud.
