The WAC might die from lack of membership.
The Big Sky isn't interested; in fact, they're interested in Idaho because they could bring FCS football there. And with Idaho and Idaho St in tow, who needs the Boise market? Plus, they'd need another non-football program to balance with Boise, and they already have 13 members. They won't expand beyond 14. Big Sky is literally full and can't take Boise.
Big West already turned down Boise once.
WCC turned them down, and just added Pacific, so that means no room for Boise. In fact, Seattle/Denver combo platter is more likely there.
MWC obviously doesn't want them.
There is literally no conference in the western half of the US, outside of the Summit, who even has the capacity to take them. But guess what? That's a conference on the brink too because of a possible Horizon raid.
Boise St
South Dakota
South Dakota St
Utah Valley
North Dakota St
UMKC
Western Illinois
Southern Utah
That's the type of conference they're staring at in the face.
are you assuming IPFW, IUPUI, and Oakland all leave the Mid Con (Summit)? That group could also grab North Dakota from the Big Sky if UND ever gets their mascot issues resolved.
Southern Utah becomes a member of the Big Sky July 1, so you can take them off that list. Remove SUU and add UND and that actually isn't a bad looking conference IMO. But what to do with IPFW and IUPUI and Oakland, but I am guessing Oakland will take Butler's spot in the Horizon
