So it's being reported that the Pac-2 is talking to the MWC about basketball joining the MWC for the 24-25 season.
I assume this includes women's hoops as well.
But I wonder if the MWC or WCC would be the better option for the women's program? Maybe it's a push. Any thoughts?

Personally, I don't care. OSU WBB will need to schedule a tough 2024-25 non-conference to compensate for the weaker league

UNLV has a really good team this year and they’ll be competitive as long as Lindy LaRoque is there. Colorado State is solid this year but they’ll lose Hofschild who is one of the best PGs in the country. Boise State and New Mexico are generally solid.
Obviously OSU will need a strong non-conference schedule if playing in the MWC.

Yeah, the articles I've read have the Beavs/Cougs working on a deal with the Mountain West. Whether that be similar to the football deal where the Pac2 would not be eligible for a Mountain West post season tournament seems to still be up in the air. I think the option between MWC and WCC probably is a push, although I would lean to the MWC despite Gonzaga being somewhat of a heavyweight.
If the Beavs do join one of those leagues for scheduling purposes, what would their non-conference schedule look like? Since traditionally, most of the WCC and MWC are weaker than the Beavs, my guess is that the Beavs would play a strong non-conference schedule to make sure they have a strong NET. Especially if the key players return, as I would expect the Beavs to be pretty good next year. If the Beavs lose a lot of key players, they may need to stick with a weak non-conference schedule.
