UVSC Still Looking for a Conference

[SLCBengal]

The Provo Daily Herald reports that UVSC is still looking for a conference to join. The AD states he has ruled out starting a division I football program, but he hasn't ruled out a division II football program... ???

Calling All Conferences, UVSC Looks to the Future

"UVSC already plays most of the teams in the conference on regular bases and even though the Wolverines don't have a football program, it could begin a Division II football program, which would make it more attractive to the Big Sky. "

Having a division II football team makes them more attractive for the BSC? No! UVSC has a tough road ahead, their recent status as a junior college hurts than the author is willing to admit.

It appears the article's author should have said I-AA football, not DII - in any case, the prospect of a provisional DI member finding the funds for a football team is far-fetched.

Talk of UVSC joining the WAC is interesting, but on the surface seems a stretch. What would be the WAC's incentive to add an upstart program, with whom it'll have to share resources, be a recruiting competitor, etc.? This is similar to folks at Seattle U (current DII, recently preemptively shunned by WCC) saying the WAC is interested in the Redhawks joining - what?!
