Isn't there some way to get Gonzaga into the conference

They would offset the lack of hawaii football only. They would add a ton in basketball and would make the conference a powerhouse in basketball. You would think it would be advantageous for the zags as well since BYU Gonzaga and St Mary's are the only teams with a legitimate pulse in that conference.
 
They won't because of their religious affiliation and that relationship in the WCC - but I wish they would as well.
 
that'd be nice I'd welcome Gonzaga big time, you watch BYU will try to weasel their way back to the MWC with their unhappiness for being Independent, boooo hoooooo
 
Could always make them an affiliate member in BBall, similar to how Colorado College is in women's soccer. Of course, IF (very large if) they left the WCC, they would want to move all sports, so that probably isn't a possibility.

That would make traveling a giant pain in the ass.

We used to travel to Hawaii for basketball when they joined the WAC in 1979. I think this continued until we left to form the MWC. I know the coaches used to complain about having to fly to the islands to play a game....talk about a home court advantage.

You are correct. We played the 'Bows in Honolulu once a year from 1979 to 1999 right before we left to become charter members of the Mountain West.

I thought so, but my memory isn't as good as it once was. :)

I have an excellent memory plus I'm an historian. Plus it helps to have a lot of media guides.
