He's filling space and Jay and his friends at the SLC Tribune tend to spin their BYU commentary to the negative side. Did you see anything "positive" about BYU there?

"let the Cougars join..." The reports point that the WCC courted BYU and it was more mutually beneficial than the above statement.

"I'm not suggesting that BYU hasn't been good for the WCC — because it has." followed by..... his postulation that BYU fans are all negative.

It's a lazy piece of journalism. That was decided upon in a room of SLC Trib ppl probably saying, "hey how can we spin the Gonzaga win into a negative..?"
