I think this is likely a holding pattern, in general, for a couple of seasons while WSU and OSU figure out a long-range plan. The Mountain West would love to have both schools join as full members, but I believe that the Cougars and Beavers would like to be in a more-major type of conference. The WCC's football programs are just not high-profile enough for consideration.
