It wasn't the Catholic friends or WCC themselves - it was just haters

or people willing to repeat what haters have said...

I've never really heard anything credible to suggest WCC didn't want a school because they were Mormon or the B12 either...yet some will say and repeat it...sometimes they are our own fans thinking there must be a reason like this to explain why we were not invited yet and many who say it are actually just rival/haters that want any gas to pour on the fire...

I seem to recall hearing that about the Catholic WCC

Jeff Ward on 590 is pretty positive on BYU as well. Not sports talk, but they

I would love if Boise joined with us. I hope they become our new #1 rival.

If we join, Texas will be our rival. They hate us right now.

6/29/15 11:44pm

They all will be our rival. Holy wars to the max. Cool.

I think they would be a tier B rival, we couldn't replace Oklahoma as their

Going around Austin.... or Provo?

It was going around Bristol, for sure.

Would love this- then if we could go back to the MWC for BB it would be awesome

BYU may be a top choice but geographically is still a challenge vs. WVU.

If BYU and WVU were in different divisions, they would most likely play

The population of those metros is irrelevant too

Are there a lot of prized recruits coming out of Ohio?

There are some great athletes that come out of cleveland. Think Lebron's cousins

UT and aTm don't need more ties into Florida. They are already plugged into that

BYU's footprint is much larger than metro SLC
