intermountain West has been an emerging economic giant which are about to blow up guarantees that any conference looking more than the next television contract down the line will see the value.
It sucks in the near term, but BYU has immense value that will be scooped up, and I don't like independence as much as the next guy... but if we can get the scheduling down the program will continue to thrive. There is a lot of value in the brand and if people will just stop looking outside at what is happening on the field at Utah and Utah State for 5 minutes and turn their focus inside they will realize we are the place to be long term.
