The Atlantic Sun and the WAC, which had a mongrelized partnership to create a post season bid will merge to create a football only conference at the BCS level with hopes of going FBS at some undetermined time.
Edit: As pointed out below, should have been “FCS to FBS.”
If this was the only mistake I made on any given day it would be a good day. Thanks for the correction.
They had some sort of arrangement recently where one school from one of the conferences got an auto-bid, even though individually neither conference had the NCAA required minimum number of teams. This will give them a designated conference with the required number.
One thing I like about the WAC, and I guess the new hybrid, is it gives Big Sky teams some non-conference FCS, (did I get that right this time?) opponents.
