It's great for recruiting and this is important if the conference is to be competive. The big draw backs are travel cost and not all the schools have all the sports. These are two items that are correctable. The travel cost can be handled and the other schools can add baseball. This is especially true if the Football programs for the schools improve.
Improved programs mean improved revenues and all things get easier.
Lets hope for some good games the first year and surprising teams outside the conference. If this happens the WAC will be off to a great start.
