UTA set to join WAC (old BR)

As earlier reported in the War Room, Jack has come across a copy of the agenda for the University of Texas Board of Regents meeting July 14th.  Item 5 clearly states voting on the inclusion of the University of Texas at Arlington to the Western Athletic Conference as invited on July 5th.

UTA does not have a football team though they do have a 15,000 seat stadium on campus.  It’s possible that the sport will be added in time for the 2016 season.  The Mavericks will become the tenth member of the WAC, joining Denver U, Seattle U, Texas State, and UTSA in July 2012.
