Yeah, BYU talked to a couple for MW schools to move with BYU but those schools didn't budge from the MW. Nobody moved with BYU and WAC schools left despite BYU pending move to the WAC.

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

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...

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

QuinneyCoug

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

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.
