BYU fans would never see this as an acceptable option, even if it was a good one

I'm not saying it is or isn't, but being back in the MWC would require a lot of pride swallowing and would also put BYU unequivocally in the position of second fiddle in the state. With Independence fans and recruiting coaches can turn it into a gray area, but in the MWC the definition would be clear. That is why any time this idea is suggested around here most people crap their pants in disgust. It wasn't so bad being in the MWC/WAC for 40 years....but now all of a sudden it is abhorrent.

MWC football only? That's a worse idea than MWC full membership.

Only scheduling agreement that makes sense is with a P5 conf.

Of course preferable but I dont think a P5 conference wants this.
