…. For some athletes to handle, especially when considering travel to far away schools for competition and etc. This is why they held in with Pac 12 for so long. With that factored in, they may have no choice but to join Mtn West, for the sake of student athletes, and hope that Mtn West’s expansion gamble pays off. They will still consider Big 12 invite if given.

For WSU, they are in tough spot, because athletic department and academics, not on par with power conferences. They stayed in the Pac for that reason but now that it’s basically disbanding soon, they may have to find new home. Don’t know if even Mtn West will take them in. They got the shortest end of the straw.
In end, expect more moves this upcoming week.
But right now, Lee Corso is likely crying for the athletes for the four schools as tradition is gone.
