Even with all that’s been said - you got an issue

Would the Southwest Division be thrilled with BSB and hoops tournaments both living in the other division? Not sure that would be the case.

Basketball seems locked into Vegas for now but can’t imagine baseball staying put as that would mean arguably the top three sports (MBB, BSB and WBB) with championship events wouldn’t sniff Texas. There’s a decent sized drop off from there (no offense to any other sports)

We can throw out moving the hoops tournaments. Pulling them from Vegas would be dumber than pulling baseball from PHX. Vegas has become the Mecca for conference tournaments.

The question is what is better for the WAC as a whole. Is marketing the baseball tournament in PHX in front of MLB scouts and logistical ease/business relationships built over the years more important than moving the tournament to San Antonio (just picked a random TX city, I have no idea what can compete with PHX amenities for baseball) to appease the SLC defectors? Will there be added costs for hosting it elsewhere, or does that not matter and it's a politically driven move just because?
