St. Mary's is probably looking to go to the MWC now too. WCC will become a 1 bid basketball league with all these changes. What remains are 8 schools, Seattle (added in 2026), Portland, USF, Santa Clara, UOP, LMU, Pepperdine, and USD. Regional schools that fit the profile for expansion include Cal Baptist and Denver.

Announced as a full non-football playing institution. That helps in basketball and weakens the WCC, where they were going to "replace" Gonzaga. Wondering if the WCC will now go after Cal Baptist to "replace" GCU?
