Well, they keep saying that 4 others will join the AWFC bumping the total to 14. So, no.
Of course WACSUN proponents are going to say "NO".
The problem is... there are a lot of problems. And uncertainties-- which have been discussed over and over and over here and elsewhere. There are a lot of "moving parts" on ALL sides.
Till ALL these hurdles/hoops are solved-- IMHO(hear that?-IMHO) then I do NOT see anyone else giving up their current situation to join this group. Now-- some of them might be on "standby" IF all the hurdles are completed.
And those "hurdles" can't be solved on message boards-- It would have to happen in the real world and in writing.
You can be sure C-USA will invite the Strongest two of the group that makes geographic sense.---*While NOT a "death blow" to the remaining group-- it certainly would weaken them significantly. Also we do not know how strong-weak the agreement "sheet" is between these ten schools.
That would leave eight-- then-- UTRGV will not be prepared for a long while IMO-- and at least one of the Utah schools will not be ready anytime soon. That gets you down to six IMHO. Next you would have to convince two to join this unsure venture and leave what they have now.
And that ASSUMES all the "hurdles" are solved.
IF they are not solved-- then this whole idea is mute.
Possibility-- A "death blow" COULD come IMO--- IF dominoes above fall heavily and C-USA has to add 3-5 schools all from the WACSUN. Then, they would obviously not have enough to continue.
**The CRAZY part about this whole thing is that one year from now we may not know anymore than now.
