McMurphy’s version also makes sense.
I live in WA and don’t have a clue how you get to WSU besides sitting in a car for hours. I’m guessing teams would fly into Spokane and take an hour and a half bus ride there from the airport. There aren’t a ton of direct flights, so it really is a long trip with a layover. It’s not very practical for any sport besides football, and the reward is landing a school with no significant national interest or any interest at all outside of eastern WA. Their fans are fervent, but there just isn’t a huge population near the school. I’m pretty biased, but there’s no reason to take them on as a member if USF, SMU, UCONN, or really any school in a heavily populated region are available.
