I am interested to see if the WAC comes up with another school that currently sponsors FCS football to make it 8 teams with 6 eligible. Here is a link showing that Dixie and Tarleton wont be full members until 24/25 seasons.

That is too long to wait and why I expect the WAC to find another school to they can get the auto bid in 21/22.
Ya I don't expect them to wait around. Names I've heard mentioned are UC Davis, Weber State, and NAU but nothing official. Just teams in the area.
Additionally, PVAMU or TSU could always be viable options.
I read a report from a TV station in Salt Lake City saying that Weber is a NO GO Sacramento St NO GO. U of Northern Colorado maybe.
Another Texas school would cut down travel a ton.
I don't know much about N Colorado, just that every single Big Sky fan has suggested we take them so I'm thinking no go.
NAU would be really nice. Flagstaff is awesome.
Ya. Northern Colorado is nothing special in football. But.... they have a fine baseball program and won a NCAA Div1 CWS in the 50's , I believe. The SLC has 3 strong baseball programs (Sam, Lamar and SLU). 2 out of 3 ain't bad. You would have 3 (typically top 50) programs.
