WAC Revival

This has been hinted at in other threads, but I just noticed on the Tarleton State site that the WAC will sponsor FCS Football in Fall 2022, given the presence of Tarleton and Dixie State and the bolting of SFA from the Southland.
For me, this bodes well for the Big Sky, as we now have an FCS conference to provide OOC games within easy reach of us, and therefore removing from us the nasty choice between huge travel bills getting OOC games back East, taking "OOC" games from in-conference teams we're not scheduled to play in rotation that year, or taking extra body-bag FBS games. It stinks that much of the WAC presence is coming from D-II, but it DOES help us.
