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

anyway and our schedule could be "just as good". The problem is being a part of a conference with no respect. Playing for a conference championship in a conference no one cares about is just not worth it. I think we actually get more respect as an independent than we ever did as part of a mid tier conference.

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

Do you want to take a huge pay cut??

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
