Greetings Vandals -
To elaborate on what I had mentioned a while ago, the only two items in
the Idaho Statesman that I would put any faith in are page numbers and
the day's date. Other than that . . . (well, you know)

I mentioned yesterday that 3 schools (SMU, Rice, & Tulsa) are leaving
the Western Athletic Conference to join Conference USA. The WAC
commissioner announced his intention of bringing in some Sun Belt teams,
a scenario that could put the U of I and Boise State back into the same
conference.
However, BSU is lobbying the Mountain West (along with Nevada, Hawaii,
and Fresno State) to join their ranks. The Mountain West has not stated
whether they are even interested in expansion.

The Statesman announced today that Sun Belt teams, Utah State and New
Mexico State, will be invited to join the WAC. ESPN is announcing that
it's a done deal: "New Mexico State and Utah State will leave the Sun
Belt Conference for the WAC in time for the 2005-06 season, a source
close to the negotiation told ESPN.com on Wednesday night."
http://espn.go.com/ncaa/news/2003/1022/1644545.html
No word on where that leaves UI and the Sun Belt which will have only 6
teams remaining.
Jack
