Interesting. If Chicago State is headed out then with the incoming five schools the WAC will have 13 members. And if the reports are true that the conference is still looking to add two more, that would push membership to 15 which doesn’t make sense.

The implication is that one of the remaing two additions would be football-only, or that one more existing member could leave.

Here’s one way the latter scenario could play out:

- Northern Arizona is invited to replace Chicago State and accepts
- The Big Sky responds to losing Southern Utah and Northern Arizona by inviting Seattle which accepts
- The WAC backfills for Seattle with West Texas A&M

The WAC would end up with 14 full members (7 in Texas and 7 in SoCal/Utah/Arizona/New Mexico) and 9 FCS teams. The Big Sky would end up with 10 full members and 11 FCS teams. Both conferences would have smaller, more manageable geographic footprints.

There you go spouting logical realignment again03-lmfao
