Nope
The wac still makes the most sense for sout. It's better geographically, and goodness knows they were never a fit in the bsc (#bsc; thanks foolerton).

I grew to like SU. They got good in football and basketball. They were in the BS geographic footprint.

I’d be concerned if I were SUU… but there’s a reason I posted this podcast.
If the WAC does have more defections, just know- and I’m sure you know- it’s possible they’re not the only conference with serious issues making numbers for football over the next 5 years.
The part of the discussion that most intrigues me is when the discussion turns toward ADs contemplating the idea of multiple sport-specific conferences or more collaborations like the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. It’s possible we could see a merger of a few FCS football conferences while getting other sports into more sane travel situations.
So I wouldn’t discount the possibility that the Big Sky loses some sports (without the schools actually dropping them) and then accepts SUU back for football. Not that I’ll hold my breath.
