Talking Bull: e tu Bobcats?

Just when you thought it could not get any worse for the WAC

The WAC is on deaths doorstep. And not I'm not being histrionic when I say that. They are officially down to six football playing members. Its almost a sure thing that Utah State, UTSA, and San Jose State are gone. Now the word is that the Sun Belt is going to raid them? Say goodbye to the Texas State Bobcats...

Conference Realignment: WAC Also Losing Texas State, According To Report - SBNation.com
Texas State would shore up the Sun Belt's Texas losses, as the SBC is set to lose North Texas to Conference USA, perhaps as early as this week, according to the Dallas Morning News' Brett Vito. The Bobcats have yet to even play a game in the WAC, playing their first season of FBS football later this year, and they're already leaving.

New Mexico state will find somewhere to live, their basketball is too good to pass up for any conference that has a presence in the south west (CUSA, MWC, Sun Belt). The Vandals might be done when the WAC banner falls in the field it will be in the Vandals hands.

Speaking of the Sun Belt

There is a cnace that down the line a MAC team could face Texas State in the GoDaddy bowl.

"We are extremely happy to extend our long-established and successful bowl partnership with the GoDaddy.com Bowl and the city of Mobile," said Dr. Jon Steinbrecher, MAC Commissioner. "Our membership, most importantly our student-athletes, coaches, administrators and fans, continually enjoy an outstanding experience with the bowl festivities and the hospitality provided by the GoDaddy.com Bowl, President Jerry Silverstein and the entire city of Mobile."
