We have nothing for you today

Apparently, the WAC -- in basketball terms -- has entered a void. Hopefully, it's only temporary. Or just a Friday thing.

So, with that opening, let's offer a reality show proposal for TLC, Bravo, Discovery Channel and the like. Heck, maybe even ESPN III might bite.

We're calling it: The Western Athletic Conference, Makeover Edition

Because that will be the mode for most of the WAC inhabitants.

Look at these numbers:

* just three of the top scorers in 2009-2010 return

* we count but five of the leading 15 rebounders being back in uniform

* But hey, seven of the best 15 assist compilers will play again

* Rolling with momentum, a majority (8-15) of the best shotblockers are coming back

C'mon, "Celebrity Apprentice" has resorted to resurrecting a boardroom full of cadavers in order to continue. "The Real Housewives of (fill in the blank)" is about as informative and compelling as a Sarah Palin soliloquy.

A new direction is needed.

Karl Benson, make the pitch.

The Pack filled up their scholarships when Panzer verballed today, so it wasn't a completely empty afternoon. That's 6 freshmen and 4 sophs for Nevada. An amazing amount of talent and length, but very short on experience. It's going to be interesting!
