BLIKNS Posted December 6, 2012 Share Posted December 6, 2012 Seen the WAC will be adding Chicago State just to keep the mimimium of 7 teams to have the automatic bid. Was it the WAC who was the original 16 team conference?, 8 WAC teams then the 8 broke off for the Mountain West Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thetorch Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Demise of the WAC. Used to be a very strong conference. Was at one time considered the best non major conference in both football and basketball. WAC has been around since the early 60s. They haven't had a founding member in their conference since 99. By '14 their longest tenured team will be New Mexico St which joined in 05. Adding Hawaii was their death knell. None of the established teams in the league wanted to accept the travel costs. Interesting that most of them are back in the same conference with Hawaii. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
