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

Had BYU gone to the WAC, things may have played out differently. It wasn't the only option, but it was the best.

We should be grateful to the WCC. We still haven't won a conference championship. They are a good league with small venues. "Saved BYU" is a complete overstatement.

Thanks for trolling.

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

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

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

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

Agree. BYU belongs in the WCC and until they can dominate like Gonzaga

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

1/25/15 8:38am

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

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.

1/26/15 12:14am

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
