How about the WAC?

The athletic department is looking to get into a conference so what does a Western Athletic Conference task force mean to Utah Valley?


There's an article in the Star Bulletin from Hawaii, here, about the WAC task force looking at basketball in the nine-team conference.

The WAC may want to expand by adding another team to make travel partners for Thursday and Saturday games. Could UVSC be a possibilty? Hawaii athletic director and member of the task force Herman Frazier was in Salt Lake City for a conference earlier this month.
The WAC would be a great conference for Utah Valley but it still seems like a long shot at this point but anything is possible the way Utah Valley's athletics are continuing to improve un der Division I status.

If Utah Valley gets into a conference without a football team the will they ever have football?
Pressure from the conference might encourage it but it could go the other way if the conference just wants to add a school without football and basketball as its main sport. Football still costs a fortune Utah Valley doesn't have.

There's still plenty of changes to endure before the athletic department is where it wants to be at the D-I level.
