If West Texas is ever returning to D1, the WAC is the ticket.

Re: Could Tarleton Be Joining Dixie?

If this did happen I wonder if Big Sky teams like Southern Utah, Northern Arizona, Northern Colorado and Weber State would move too the WAC?

I could see the first three, but Weber is a charter member of the Big Sky, and have a close rivalry with Idaho State.

Only two I could feasibly see if N Colo and S Utah. Both are bottom feeders and this could give them a chance to compete for conference titles. TSU, Dixie State ( someone was geographically challenged when they named this school ) and most likely UTRGV adding a team. That would be 5 and WT could be enticed to join and have a conference. A lot still needs to happen, but it is feasible.

Didn't think about the Weber State part of that. But say Northern Colorado, Northern Arizona and Southern Utah leave the Big Sky. You know where I'm going with this right. :smile-big: Granted the money isn't there for the program and would be a HUGE struggle.... But...

The question remains about how long the WAC will survive as a viable conference and if they can find enough schools willing to jump before the clock expires. The clock is not slowing down.

Yup, It's 4:20 somewhere. My bad wrong clock.

I know where you are going. Would be a fit with Portland State and EWU close, UM and MSU a short enough trip. But even if we tripled our current athletic budget, we would be on the short end of the stick in most sports. And that is before the needed upgrades to facilities.

I went to the Montana State v. Cal Poly game this weekend. While the Bobcats have probably the top facilities overall in the Big Sky, there is no comparison. CWU facilities would be near the bottom of the BSC.

Yup, The budget is not there and would be a struggle. But like you said Portland, Spokane, Moscow, Pocatello, Missoula, Bozeman are bus rides.

My plan, had I won the billion dollar Mega jackpot, was to fully fund the transition, endowing the additional budget needs, upgrade to Tomlinson (Runnin' Cat Field at Tomlinson Stadium has a ring to it...), and a new baseball stadium. This would be after buying the 25K acre ranch in the Shields Valley.....

I had the same plan on those two jackpot's with Mega Millions and Power Ball. HAHAHA. I guess I can put all my focus now on the Publisher Clearing House Giveaway Prize.
