College Athletics: More of the WAC-ky situation

According to Andy Katz of ESPN, Texas State will make a formal pitch to the Western Athletic Conference Sept. 28 at a meeting in Dallas. Katz wrote:

If Denver wants to get out of the Sun Belt, a league that is mostly in the Southeast, it must make the full pitch to the WAC.

The hope for the Pioneers is the WAC decides to go with two non-football playing members -- the other being former WCC hopeful Seattle University -- and adds two football playing schools, more than likely Texas-San Antonio and Texas State (unless Montana decides to upgrade its successful football program). Adding two football and two non-football schools would give the WAC 10 members for 2012-13, eight for football. According to a source, the league is also meeting with UTSA, Texas State and Montana on Sept. 28 in Dallas.

More on this as it develops.
