RE: Matt Brown “predicts” WAC will dissolve in 2023
I'm not sold on the WACpocalypse. But, there are lots of scenarios, IF it happened.

I think the Texas 4 with football would join the ASUN. I think the Utah 2 with football enjoys having potentially a couple of options including ASUN, Big Sky, others?

Again, I think this is just fun stuff for him to toss out there. I subscribe to Matt and they both discussed the ones they missed on from their predictions last year. They do a good podcast.

Do the realignment fanatics literally scour all of the websites, threads and posts just looking for realignment activity? David Street came out of the woodwork and others breathlessly tell us where 97 different teams will end up…in a single post.

The success of WAC/ASUN going FBS will hinge on the 4 schools not named that are in talks with the WAC/ASUN, joining up. If they can get 12 schools to form a league with a few FCS powerhouses such as the Montans's/Dakota's, than it should be successful. They also have to do it before the next wave of realignment happens because some of the schools will be taken by other leagues.

1. Gonzaga leaves WCC and they get both CBU and GCU
2. WAC/ASun football league is unable to go to FBS like they think they can.
3. WAC does not want D2 move ups and is unable to get current FCS teams.
4. SLC/Asun will pick apart current WAC teams.
5. Doesn’t mention what would happen to SU, UVU. I guess UT, SUU would find a football conference? UTA could probably find another league if they don’t want to go back to the SLC.

SLC/ASUN will pick apart current WAC teams...
Depends on how many additional schools the PAC loses...
Depends on how many schools the MWC loses to the PAC...
Depends on how many schools the BSC loses to the MWC...
Depends on how many schools the WAC loses to the BSC...
Depends on WAC/ASUN Alliance FBS FB-Only Conference bid is successful...
Depends on how many schools the WAC/ASUN loses to the FBS conferences...

IF MWC 12 - 2 Schools
THEN MWC 10 + CUSA 2 (NMST/UTEP) = MWC 12
*NMST & UTEP already FBS
*No effect on WAC FB

IF MWC 12 - 4 Schools
THEN MWC 8 + CUSA 2 (NMST/UTEP) [FBS] + BSC 2 (MN/MNST) [FCS] = MWC 12
PLUS BSC 8 + WAC UT 2 (SUU/UT Tech) = BSC FB 12
*WAC FB - 2
*SUU & UT Tech ===> BSC

IF MWC 12 - 6 Schools (MWC West 6)
THEN MWC West 6 + CUSA 2 (UTEP/NMSU) [FBS] +
BSC 4 (MN/MNST/Weber St./Sac. St.) [FCS] = MWC 12
PLUS BSC 8 + WAC UT 2 (SUU/UT Tech) = BSC FB 10
*WAC FB - 2
*SUU & UT Tech ===> BSC
*BSC FB - 4 = BSC FB 10
*MN/MNST/Weber St./Sac. St. ===> MWC

IF WAC FB - 2 Schools
THEN WAC/ASUN FB Alliance = 8
WAC FB 4 [ACU/Tarleton/SFA/UTRGV (FB 2025)] +
ASUN FB 4 [APSU/UCA/EKU/UNA)]
*WAC/ASUN Alliance bidding for FBS FB-Only Conference...
Atlantic Sun, WAC teams pairing up to attempt move to FBS, sources say
https://www.espn.com/college-football/st...ources-say

IF WAC/ASUN Alliance bidding for FBS FB-Only Conference unsuccessful...
THEN WAC/ASUN Alliance may stays at 8...
*SLC/ASUN does not pick apart current WAC teams...

Who is NMST?

NMST = New Mexico St

I’ll try not to pick on a misreading of MNST as NMST, but I also have enough experience to know that a 97-school shift promise usually turns out to be “SFA jumped to the ASUN and everyone else stayed put.” Or something along those lines.

I think the issue at play here is “the WAC gambled and didn’t really win, and there will be a price to pay for that.” There’s an argument that the gamble needed to be made, or else it would crumble less dramatically. Shrug.
