There's very much a reason UIW wasn't included before...I've seen text messages from at least one Texas4 President telling the commissioner of the WAC that adding UIW "wouldn't make sense", and I was told by basically every single one of my sources over the summer that UIW was not going to be involved in this conversation.

Now, could things change, now that there's need for a another eastern-ish team, and Central Arkansas (who was included in the original WAC expansion plans) went to a different league? I mean, clearly enough has changed that UIW got site visits and formal consideration. Will they actually get an invite? I don't know right now.
