Title: Should Wichita Shox Join Big 12?
Post by: renocat on December 09, 2015, 07:29:16 AM
KWCH tv in Wichita is reporting WSU is looking to join a new conference and revive football.  They do have some good teams.

If they somehow convince the Koch brothers to donate half their net worth so they build brand new everything then we'll talk.

no we won't

I said talk, not seriously consider. Adding on $20 billion worth of facilities makes them no worse than some of the other terrible proposals tossed about. Without that this thread is DOA.

If WSU ever brings back football, they will be lucky to join the American Athletic Conference or Conference USA, let alone a P5 league.

They won't be FBS.

True, they probably just stay with their buds in the Mo Valley.

It'd be nice if they just gave up on the idea all together.

Them and ku could be a really solid foundation for a nice FCS league. Assuming FCS ever feels the need to expand.

Honestly they should, that was really the point of my post, that it's not going to happen. Anyone who knows anything about college football and has ever seen WSU's facilities knows that they are a long time and a lot of money away from being able to field a team and even farther away from a competitive one, even at fcs level.

What's best for that athletic department would be focusing on adding soccer (could play at Cessna Stadium) and keeping their current sports and facilities at a reasonable
level.

If the Koch brothers get involved it's an entirely different story.
