Interesting... Seems like a long transition but I guess UCSD has to say yessir to whatever Big West tells them at this point.
I wonder what the ripple effects down the road could be. In particular, WCC, not a super strong conference already, will lose CUSB. I bet that has other schools looking at jumping ship.
CCAA will be sad to see UCSD go but I'm guessing that's about it.

I always get confused on this, but actually the WCC is a pretty good conference filled with religiously affiliated schools -- USD, LMU, Saint Mary's, BYU, Gonzaga, USF, Santa Clara, Pepperdine, Pacific, Portland. The Big West is now 5 UCs, 5 Cal States, and Hawaii.

The WAC is the one getting whacked, losing CSUB. It is all over the map. In particular, I would imagine that Seattle U -- the only religiously affiliated school in the WAC -- would be interested in joining the WCC. It would cut down on its travel, and it would fit in well with Gonzaga, Portland, etc.
