It has been quoted from commissioner that going for more teams is an active option they are exploring, nothing concrete. Lots of conjecture about demise of WAC, former talks like Denver, Texas schools that don't have football, California schools dropping football, etc.

Davis never became the power most thought they could become. Unique college town, high academics, solid facilities. They had a good stretch in some sports like XC, Golf, but have been just one of the bunch since joining. Hawaii has been solid in their main sports, but their athletic department has been hampered immensely by their football malaise since they shut down Aloha Stadium. Hawaii men's volleyball will still be around which is positive.

Utah Valley would shock me if they aren't added at this point. They aren't really part of Salt Lake City metro, but in a growing area and not far away, growing public university. In the heart of Mormon territory of Orem, 88% of households are Mormon. I still think a decent add, great momentum on campus, but not in the league of BYU, Utah, Utah State, and not really drawing much from the greater SLC metro area. Kind of the fall back for those who don't get into BYU.
