The WAC was crumbling, but it wasn't a foregone conclusion that it was dead.

The WCC did provide our only real option after Commisioner Thompson arranged his

As much as I dislike Thompson, his actions ensured the survival of the MWC

Very true.

Who would have followed BYU to the WAC? Would those teams have put their

That's what I thought too.

This is not true. BYU had reached out to two MWC schools about moving...

Tokolosh

1/25/15 3:09pm

But......they didn't make the move

mwc tex

Of course they didn't. That's what started this thread...

It's mutual....their TV contracts, ticket sales and revenue are up

BYU's non-football sports bring a lot to any league.

QuinneyCoug

1/25/15 6:39am

BYU basketball wouldn't bring much more than a marginal increase in ticket sales

ToasterChive

Actually I think BYU basketball would do pretty well in the Pac.

Now that is interesting.

That assumes a nice recruiting bump for BYU being in the PAC.

Recruiting bump? We have, are, and always pull from the same pool of

I think the Utes have expanded their recruiting. You are a ute fan, so "we" is

Where did BYU's other programs (Olympic and other non revenue generating sports)

All in WCC, except for programs the WCC doesn't offer.

Anti-WCC comments here on CB come from BYU fans who want to return to the MWC.

^^This is why I like the WCC and respect the teams WAY more than most MWC teams.

This is my position as well. Financially, that situation would be a win for all

I am with you, but I have to say it would be nice
