WAC Football Preview (Karl Benson speaks)

• Benson said this is a year of transition, but the WAC knows how to handle it.
• Rumors of Utah State leaving the WAC have "no substance."
• Benson hopes to find two schools to make a move, either from the FCS to the FBS or current FBS member in the current WAC footprint to join the conference.
• Benson said the WAC needs to "get through this stage" of having seven football-playing schools.
• "Right now, we're going to take some time off [from looking for new teams]," Benson said. "Beginning in January, going through the first of April, my United Airlines miles will increase significantly. I guess you can call that recruiting."
  
• Due to NCAA mandates, the WAC only has one bowl tie-in beginning in 2012.
