Monday night CBS Sportsline had a story from their college football writer which stated (paraphrasing) that EVERY school in the current WAC has either contacted or been contacted by the new Mountain West - CUSA alignment regarding future prospects towards entry.
I followed up on this by contacting a source who works in an authority position at a MWC school. They told me the plan is they are going to take Utah State and Louisiana Tech. USU will be slotted in the division with other former MWC schools. Texas El-Paso will also be moved from the CUSA group into that one. La. Tech will go into the former CUSA group.
When asked about some of the remaining WAC schools the response was (paraphrasing) 'we have no interest in Idaho and don't want San Jose State.'
You can be sure the Big Sky knows what's going on here. Take it for what it's worth.
