- WAC Commissioner Karl Benson also stated that the WAC is not presently looking to expand. There had been rumors that the WAC might add another member, either from the Big Sky, or non-football schools Utah Valley State or Denver. Benson told media members “I think we’re entering, finally, a period of stability. I think that’s a positive. We don’t anticipate that there is anything looming out there.” (Source: Idaho Statesman)
