The University of Hawaii is close to joining the Mountain West Conference for football, raising the prospect of leaving the depleted WAC after 32 years.

Hawaii president M.R.C. Greenwood talked to Mountain West commissioner Craig Thompson over the phone Thursday and said she was confident a deal would be worked out. We have a handshake but we have yet to agree on the details. The people of the state of Hawaii should be very positive about this and convinced that we have a bright future.

Yeah, so, does that mean TX-SA and TX State will be moving up in classification?

The WAC has pretty much become Sun Belt West now.  It wasn't a good conference before but now is really terrible.

They should add DeVry and Phoenix Online.

At one time, Hawaii played most of the teams in the MWC in the old WAC back in the 80s.

WAC is still better than the Big East.
God is not real.

A conference game in Hawaii every other year may be a good recruiting crutch.

This will make tha WAC even more of a weak uncompetitive joke.
GO HOGS!

Does Hawaii have any mountains?
"In the East, college football is a cultural exercise.

On the West Coast, it is a tourist attraction.

In the Midwest, it is cannibalism.

But in the South, college football is a religion, and every Saturday is a holy day."

This is one of the reasons why Hawaii must leave the WAC. In order to keep recruiting better players to be competitive they have to find a stronger conference to play in. Yes the MWC teams used to make up the WAC years ago. There are old rivalries there for UH. This will help in recruiting the recruits UH needs to move forward with. UH really wants to join the PAC 10. This may be one step closer. All Hawaii has to do now is win most of their games and show the PAC 10 they are a formidable team and great college to have in their conference. All our other sports are improving too. You will hear more about our Warriors in the near future as being a formidable force.

New Mex State has also been considering going down to 1-AA.

Some should follow. Arkansas State among them.

Texas State to 1-A? And Jacksonville State? the NCAA needs to stop this BS.
