No Other Place to Go, So Does It Matter?
UTSA & Texas St.
If the WAC were to fold, it would be unfortunate for both schools. But there simply weren't any other options for them to join for FBS football. Sure, both schools want to join CUSA and would likely enjoy a Sunbelt invitation. But if those invitations existed, they wouldn't have joined the WAC. But neither schools had any choices.
* Options: hope for a invitations from CUSA or the Sunbelt for all sports.
* Possibilities: If WAC folds, either could participate as a football independents and join the Summit League for non-football sports. The Southland might even reconsider keeping both schools for non-football sports. The Southland might need some membership stability and if their options were Oral Roberts, UTPA, Houston Baptist and then UTSA and Texas St., it would appear that UTSA and Texas St. would have the advantage.

FIU, FAU, Troy, USA, WKU, MTSU, Arkansas St., *UALR (non-football)
