RE: Is it possible that the WAC will ever return to FBS?

In 2022, Tarleton State and Dixie State will be eligible for autobids and another football member will likely be added. So the WAC, without the ASUN affiliates, will have an autobid. A move up to FBS in the future with this group is unlikely however. So the WAC either will remain FCS or will have to be able to attract western teams from current FBS conferences in order to move up. (UTEP, TSU, UTSA, UNT - possible but not likely)
So what would make the WAC more attractive to the 4 schools you mention at the end than their current conferences? Also I'm going to assume you mean TXST and not Texas Southern.
You are right, I meant TXST. Other than a major shakeup, I don't see any of those four moving to the WAC.
