    Now, as far as D1 goes there may be an opportunity in the very near future. WAC is on the verge of collapsing. Chicago State is all but history, UMKC is losing so much money that they are exploring dropping to D2, and CSU Bakersfield has jumped ship. No D1 school in their right mind would join this conference. The WAC is seriously considering FCS to keep their conference alive and D2 call ups will be the only way I see that it can happen. It would be like the MVFC.
    Is there legs this time to WAC collapsing or dropping to FCS? It's been talked about & rumored ever since they lost their big names to the MWC. Has anything been written about it recently? I can't even name 3 other members off the top, other than the ones above.

    It would be a great move for the RMAC crossing into Texas ! Black Hills Away game would be the only trip thats longer than kingsville.

    Good luck with that.

    Almost moot. Today is a completely different world in NCAA athletics.
    Actually closer to 30 years ago than 40, but your point is well take.

    Can you imagine a school voluntarily leaving the Missouri Valley Conference to join Division 2? It was just as unbelievable then as it would be now.

    Valid point. This a commuter school, as is UT-Dallas, that has started building infrastructure to become more like a traditional 4 year University. They have a ways to go.
