EsPN and money are the upside.

How a fan should feel about that is. . . ambiguous. I choose to believe independence is necessary for the long term stability and viability of the program.

BSUs deal with MWC might be an acceptable middle ground. They get better exposure and better money than the usual MWC team, and the benefits of being in a conference.

I really do miss being a conference member. Bowl access was no better, but a conference championship is something interesting to me add a fan.

The "fun" games were TCU and Utah. I realize we are scheduling some of the teams

I agree that in the past winning the MWC title didn't offer many rewards.

Do you want to take a huge pay cut??

I don't think so.

Oh man, no way. MWC sucks. Schedule sucked. Remember 2006 home schedule? Sucked.

You have no idea whether or not a MWC schedule is enough to make the playoffs.

Cornelius

Guaranteed if BYU was in MWC they would go to a 9 conf schedule

You forgot Fresno St on your list of MWC teams.
