Over the past few years there has been quite a bit of speculation about various schools joining the Big West. All of the following schools have been tossed around for discussion by Big West fans: UCSD, Grand Canyon, Denver, Seattle, CSU Bakersfield and Sac State. I've never read anything official from the Big West administration about future expansion. UCSD has been the most talked about by BW fans recently though.

Is there a source that you are referring to, 69aggie?

No rumor only because of geography and travel teams.

The Tritons have been denied...

Out of all the schools that have been mentioned in joing the Big West, UCSD would be my choice to compete against. It's a beautiful school with serious academic chops.

That aside, I personally would LOVE to see UC Davis join some iteration of the PAC 12. That move would do wonders for the school. It would increase diversity, exposure, donor money, and help a lot in recruiting.

More on Big West turning down UCSD, at least for now:

Students voted for the move, are they also going to help fund schollies?

What about sac? Seems that the geography of the league would support them over San Diego.

Sac State is in the Big West for soccer and UCSD is in the Big West for men's volleyball. They're both affiliate members, similar to what we are in the Big Sky for football.

I think ucsd's main problem was that they are not D1 and the time and confusion its takes to get there nowadays is something BW doesn't need. But sacs there already and they are competitive now. A little more geographical balance would be good for the BW. And definitely would help the Ags. Have they just given up on the BW. We are a much better conference than BS for all non football programs.

Meanwhile Sac's problem is that they suck.
