That San Antonio market is a powerful drug. UIW has always shown potential, and Lord knows they have the cash. Have to admit they really have built a nice brand. Would be a nice swap for Seattle. Culturally, geographically, and they play FOOTBALL. Actually had them coming over from the SLC with ACU, when I didn't think there was a snowball's chance in Hades we'd get both SFA AND Sam. Already play some WAC sports. If true, this could be a great move.

So now it’s only HBU and the Louisiana schools that were the problem? UIW has always been a valuable member to the SLC schools?

Not so much. UIW, much like HBU has subpar facilities and San Antonio does very little to support them. UTSA plays in the Alamodome and has a large following and gets local support. UIW plays in a stadium that is not on par with local High Schools and has a small following. Hard to believe I’m saying this but the WAC can and should do better. No need to add a school just to add a warm body for football. There are much better football schools out there!
