regardless,
these moves become a self fulfilling prophecy
UCSB has zero media pull, I guess maybe WCC sees them as 'higher' type
this is also hitting the Big West as a Volleyball conference. if they go, only 3 of 6 Big West MVB members would be full time Big West members. The WCC would have 4 MVB members if UCSB goes, and if Irvine goes WCC would make it 5 (versus just us & NOrthidge left) so WCC would probably become a MVB conference

another domino falling
UCSD is one thing, UCSB is a long time rival and long term conference mate
would make the Big West a shell. also, losing all the high ranking research insitutions (UCSD, Davis, SB) stings
what is left?
Still do not get that the WCC is some high profile conference. Pepp & LMU really have not stood out in recent years.
getting left in the dust, I think circa 2012 LOng Beach State would have been the top 1 or 2 for the WCC to pursue. not now
just depressing news upon depressing news
