    The WAC will file for a waiver and will get one in '22 when it has seven schools, albeit two that are in transition.
    Then we must win big and win often!

Sometimes you make a move that you think is up but it turns out not to be.

    Remember when Boise State and San Diego State were going to join the Big East in football? Geographically it made no sense, yet they thought about doing it.
    I am a big Aztec fan. I was against it except for the idea of playing someone different. The Aztecs have a history of playing a boring slate

This might be a situation where WAC influence might help.

    SFA was also being facetious about the conference champs thing but as we all know, a sense of humor is one thing that Sam folks don’t have.

    I’d wait for the check to clear. Remember when Sam denied WAC rumors?

    I do too as it’s sad that’s the only game Sam alumni go to. I guess they don’t want to revisit the prison?

    Good news is that y’all hired a marketing firm to go from horrendous to adequate.

    On the Bet FCS podcast, the WAC's media relations guy felt pretty comfortable in an automatic bid for '21 and that things were coming along. He even thought there was a chance something could be announced at this point. I believe the deadline for all sports in the NCAA landscape for 21-22 automatic bids has come and gone (Feb 1)

    Nice to see that the initial good feelings of common purpose created among the teams in the Texas 4 to the WAC was only temporary. The football universe is back in balance.

    That's the best you have? A prison jab? If we didn't keep your criminals where would you put them?

    I’m not a fan of the move, heck, I think Abilene is too far!
