. With the expansion, the WAC was divided into two divisions.

To help in organizing schedules and travel for the farflung league, the members were divided into four quadrants of four teams each, as follows:

Quadrant 1	Quadrant 2	Quadrant 3	Quadrant 4
Hawaii	UNLV	BYU	Tulsa
Fresno State	Air Force	Utah	TCU
San Diego State	Colorado State	New Mexico	SMU
San Jose State	Wyoming	UTEP	Rice

Quadrant one was always part of the Pacific Division, and quadrant four was always part of the Mountain Division. Quadrant two was part of the Pacific Division for 1996 and 1997 before switching to the Mountain Division in 1998, while the reverse was true for quadrant three. The scheduled fourth year of the alignment was abandoned after eight schools left to form the Mountain West Conference.

The division champions in football met from 1996 to 1998 in a championship game at Sam Boyd Stadium

.

Increasingly, this arrangement was not satisfactory to most of the older, pre-1990 members. Five members in particular (Air Force, BYU, Colorado State, Utah, and Wyoming) felt that WAC expansion had compromised the athletic and academic excellence of the membership. Additional concerns centered around finances, as the new league stretched from Hawaii to Oklahoma and travel costs became a concern. In 1999, those five schools, along with old line WAC schools New Mexico and San Diego State, as well as newcomer UNLV, split off and formed the new Mountain West Conference

Mountain West Conference

.

A USA Today article sums up why the league brokeup. "With Hawaii and the Texas schools separated by about 3,900 miles and four time zones, travel costs were a tremendous burden for WAC teams. The costs, coupled with lagging revenue and a proposed realignment that would have separated rivals such as Colorado State and Air Force, created unrest among the eight defecting schools."

to discuss contingency plans. At the time of the meeting, media reports indicated that Boise State was likely to receive an invitation from the Mountain West within the coming days. On June 11, the reports were confirmed when the MWC officially announced that Boise State would join the conference for the 2011–12 academic year.

WAC commissioner Karl Benson indicated that the conference expected to lose Boise State and that there was no bitterness against BSU by the rest of the membership. He also said that the WAC was considering its own expansion plans, and was eyeing up to six members of the Football Championship Subdivision (formerly Division I-AA) as future members. Benson has had talks with the University of Texas at San Antonio

In August 2010, media reports surfaced indicating that BYU was seriously considering leaving the MWC to become an independent in football and return to the WAC as a non-football member. The WAC was reportedly willing to accept BYU's non-football sports if it chose to pursue this option, with BYU reportedly scheduling anywhere from four to six football games each season against WAC teams.
