I've lost touch with all the league changes....when did Utah State go all Mountain West on me? That's one hell of a basketball conference. Too bad we can't be a part of that.
UNLV, New Mexico, SDSU, USU, Colorado State...etc etc. Boy I'd hate to make the trip to Vegas every year.

There is one criteria of a "Major" program WSU and CU are missing: The ability to have strong home and home games with other major programs... That is the hump we must find a way to overcome. I put just in front of solving world peace, but I think it is the final piece.

WSU has a much better setup for it's basketball program than many BCS schools. We just can't get the games that are needed to not be viewed as "small-time". Gonzaga has managed to get away from it. Butler did with two national championship appearances. Hopefully a deep run this year into the NCAA tourney will help out WSU a little more.
