WAC Football Preview (Franchione's Plan)

Western Athletic Conference Commissioner Karl Benson briefly touched on Texas State head coach Dennis Franchione having a "plan" to ease scheduling in 2012 and possibly 2013 for the remaining schools. Benson didn't want to steal Franchione's thunder, declining to comment further.

Well, Franchione's plan was to have each team in the WAC play a "travel partner" twice, with the second game not counting towards conference standings.

So, Texas State would play UTSA twice in 2012, once in San Marcos and once on the road. Whatever game was second, wouldn't count toward conference standings, but would be tacked onto the overall tally.

It's an interesting thought for sure.
