Filed under: Hawaii, Mountain West, WAC
If only the WAC and commissioner Karl Benson had acted sooner.Benson confirmed to FanHouse on Friday that his five conference presidents -- Utah State, Louisiana Tech, New Mexico State, San Jose State and Idaho -- had agreed Thursday afternoon to allow Hawaii to participate in the WAC as a football-only member and allow its other sports to play in the Big West.
Benson was going to inform Hawaii of the news Friday morning.
But late last night, Hawaii announced that the Mountain West Conference had contacted the school about a similar deal and that its bags were all but packed.
"We have a handshake, but we have yet to agree on the details," Hawaii president M.R.C. Greenwood said in a press conference Thursday evening. "The people of the state of Hawaii should be very positive about this and convinced that we have a bright future."
