According to sources on X it sounds like:

1) WAC is kicking out the Utah schools (SUU and U-Tech both Big Sky bound).

New Big Sky:  EWU, UI, ISU, UM, MSU, PSU, Weber St, UNC, UNA, SUU, U-Tech.  Cal Poly UC-Davis football only - 11 schools/13 football

2) All ASUN football schools moving over to the WAC with a rebrand to UAC.  8 schools/7 football

UAC:  UT-A, Tarleton St., ACU, UCA, WGA, N. Alabama, EKU, Austin Peavy

I wonder what happens when Tarleton St leaves?

 

Might be tempting for ORU

Didn't seem like anyone on this board wanted the Utah schools but the big sky does.  We are happy to get Auggie.

I think Utah Tech's AD is the one who got SUU into the Big Sky originally, and he wasn't there when SUU left the Big Sky.  I could be wrong, because I didn't check to verify that, but I don't think you did either.

a few weeks ago i remember reading something about a guy at tech that was at suu when they burned bridges with the bsc....and the writer/poster was wondeirng if the bad blood between that guy (ad or pres?) would keep bsc from taking tech?

Announcement of SUU Joining WAC:

The Thunderbirds will be joining the WAC ahead of the 2022-23 season, leaving the remainder of the current athletic season and the 2021-22 season to be played in the Big Sky Conference.

“The opportunity to become a member of the WAC is very exciting for us,” SUU Director of Athletics Debbie Corum said. “We believe that the future of SUU Athletics as a member of the WAC will provide exciting opportunities for our  programs.

“Southern Utah University is honored to join the WAC and help lead the resurgence of this great conference,” said SUU President Scott L Wyatt. “We join a group of universities that is growing in enrollment and a conference that is poised for the future.

Now, was AD or President the person that caused all the problems and burned bridges with the Big Sky.  I don't know.
