It's whatever timezone Wichita, South Dakota is.

My associate confirmed it is in fact Central time in Wichita, SD.

Hope the eagle has a live video link, don't think I'll be able to find it on cable in KC.

Here is an eagle that saw the future almost 3.5 years ago!

There are two great conference options for Wichita State.

1. American Conference 2014

West: Wichita State, Tulsa, Houston, Memphis, SMU, Tulane
East: Connecticut, Temple, East Carloina, Central Florida, South Florida

Just look at the great geographic fit!
Remember that Louisville, Rutgers and Villanova will not be a part of the American as of July 2014.
Navy is football only.
If Uconn Leaves you add UMass. If you Cincinnati Leaves you Add Ohio, Marshall, Charlotte, UAB, or Southern Miss.
Memphis isn't going anywhere


Play your division home and home, the other division once per year.
This is a great conference for travel, with only 3 road games per year in the East Division. 2 of them could be played on one trip.
Also a great conference for baseball!

2. Mountain West

East: Wichita State, New Mexico, Colorado State, Air Force, Wyoming, Utah State
West: San Diego State, UNLV, Nevada, Boise State, Fresno State, San Jose State

Road trips to the East Division not much more distance than the Missouri Valley.
Once again only 3 road games per year in the West Divison.

Both options are head and shoulder better than the Valley.

9:30 Central time is vote time according to Paul. Mayor has confirmed that he has been invited to WSU for "an announcement" at 1 pm. Not sure if it's related, but...

It's 9:35 CDT, so where is the proof?

I do like the idea of adding UAB someday if the time comes to replace someone. For some reason, I've always wanted to be in a conference with them. I'm pretty sure they did bring back football so it wouldn't mess up the AAC system or anything.
