More schools than just UH are interested in joining the Big West

About how several schools in addition to UH are trying to join the Big West, commissioner Dennis Farrell said:
"Hawaii is just one of them." (HSA)

About UH's interest in joining the Big West, Farrell said that:
"there have been a number of conversations with Jim (Donovan, UH athletic director) over many months." (HSA)

HSA Note: "The Big West last week lifted its five-year moratorium on new members and Farrell said three schools, including UH, have contacted him. He said Cal State Bakersfield is one but declined the reveal the other California-based institution."

HSA Note: "Farrell said, it is "premature to speculate upon" how many members the Big West might admit or when an expansion vote might take place. The MWC is expected to make an official determination on UH by the end of the year, pending conclusion of negotiations, although a spokesman said "no timetable" had been established."
