<DIV><BR></DIV>It's a long, complex story that is still evolving, but
the Western Athletic Conference, of which the University of Idaho is a member,
is in some danger of collapsing in a couple of years, with the possibility of
the U of I being left out in the cold regarding any conference
affiliation. For those who follow and care about this sort of stuff (and
I'm not advocating anything, just wondering how Moscow people feel), if the
conference, which is Division 1, does dissolve (which may well not happen),
should the Vandal program continue to try to compete at the D-1 level, go back
to the 1-AA Big Sky conference, with Montana, Montana State, EWU, etc., or
drop football? Again, I'm not advocating anything, just curious.
Obviously it's a big, big issue on Vandal Venue currently.<BR>
