Thoughts on College Realignment and the Death of the WAC


College realignment (specifically at the NCAA Division I level) is getting ridiculous.  It's effectively put one major conference (the Pac-12) into a coma, from which it will be relegated to mid-major status; and will likely be killing off another conference, the WAC (Western Athletic Conference).  Mike (whose alma mater was at one time a school in the WAC) reads a few articles on the subject and shares his thoughts.

Update: On July 1, 2026, the WAC will cease to exist, being replaced by the United Athletic Conference (UAC).
