Not a lot of good news for the WAC these days. Earlier this week Boise State announced that they're seeking membership in the Big West for all their olympic sports (football is heading to the Big East of course). Originally, they had announced that they were going to send their olympic sports to the WAC, but all the destabilization of the conference recently made them reevaluate their decision.
Of course, that's only small potatoes compared to the defections of Utah State, San Jose State, UTSA, and Texas State a couple of months ago, leaving the conference with only NM State and Idaho as football members. I've been reading about how the conference has still been seeking football members (mainly from FCS), but this is the first article that provides a concrete feeling to me that the WAC is done with football: www.kboi2.com/sports/WAC-Idaho-Vandals-football-Independent-2013-161625655.html
