UC Davis is a large, long standing university, and we need a prime conference to be a part of. Obviously, here at Davis, football isn't king in the sense that it controls the budget, because it doesn't. The fact we're so diversified in our men's and women's sports and so strong academically is the only reason we aren't in the WAC right now. I think this forming of the GWC is for the benefit of all the 'other' schools involved and not us. We'll be out of it soon enough, but for right now we have to suck on it. I am not a fan of the GWC as a whole, the GWFC was fine for what it was to the universities involved, but now it has just exploded in a bad direction for UC Davis.
