Whatever the WAC was meeting about, they must be keeping pretty hush hush, since I havent even seen anything concerning thier meetings this week.

Or all they talked about was an exit strategy while at the meetings.Wildcat Ryan wrote:Whatever the WAC was meeting about, they must be keeping pretty hush hush, since I havent even seen anything concerning thier meetings this week.
EDIT: The WAC did actually do some stuff:

Re: HONESTLY! IF IDAHO DOES RE-JOIN THE BIG SKY...
I would be happy. To this point, to my knowledge, my alma mater McNeese is the only FCS school that was I-A and met the criteria for being I-A and made a considered decision to move to I-AA. That was back in the early 1980s when the NCAA changed some rules so that a lot of schools had to move to I-AA. In the Southland, McNeese and the University of Southwestern Louisiana (now Louisiana-Lafayette) met the requirements for staying in I-A. Southwestern Louisiana opted to stay in I-A and McNeese, which had been to three bowl games in the previous six years, opted to go to I-AA to stay with its conference.
I think it was the right decision and I still think it was the right decision. But now I'm seeing more and more sentiment among McNeese fans for moving to FBS. I don't guess something like Idaho moving back to I-AA/FCS would really change much in that regard. Objective data on the folly of moving from I-AA/FCS to I-A/FBS in terms of what is overwhelmingly most likely to happen has no impact. Stars are in their eyes. But it couldn't hurt.

Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Re: HONESTLY! IF IDAHO DOES RE-JOIN THE BIG SKY...
Post yesterday on twitter from The Upset, Big Sky commish saying that the Big Sky and Idaho have talked as recently as last week, thats just about it, not a whole lot, but Idaho is still keeping the option open apparently.
