Wouldn't be too shocked if this happens.

It would be fantastic if it did happen. WSU has a great program and have paid up to keep their coach. I'm wondering if it is Koch money behind the program?

Yes, Koch Brothers paying their coach $3 million a year

Good to hear WSU has the money to keep the ball rolling long term.
Let them in!

This would be great. My mom is a WSU alum, and my grandparents were long time season ticket holders when I was growing up. Would love to play them a couple times a year.

Might work out well with a 12 bball member conference and east/west divisions. SMU, Tulsa, Houston, WSU, Tulane & Memphis in west with UConn, Temple, Cincy, ECU, USF & UCF in east. Creates an opportunity for more "traditional" division rivalries to develop, substituting Navy for WSU in football

I know they have strongly considered bringing back their football program. If they do, it would be nice if the league scheduled a couple of football games against them every season as non-conference games to help them improve football. Maybe over time if they improve enough they can become full members.
