You forgot the part where Hair convinced Lying nevada and

Lying Fresno to go back on the WAC contract THEY HAD ALREADY SIGNED to go join the MWC.

and then, after all that dishonesty, they still didn't get BYU and now they want to say it was BYU's fault for blowing up a conference? Hair, Nevada and Fresno absolutely murdered the WAC.

so go on about how evil BYU is. please.

So whats the truth behind the MWC fan's claims that BYU screwed them over?

Allegations that BYU tried to persuade SDSU and UNLV to jump to the WAC to make a great BB conference.

And Nevada and Fresno to stay in the WAC. But Hair scooped them.

it was much more than a "scoop". Those two teams broke their word.

For starters, BYU left a $1.5M a year deal for about 6x that. Comprende math?

BYU gets paid way more, and is on National TV way more and plays better teams

What a stupid comparison.

Classless logical fallacy. We owe nothing to anyone. Screw that.

12/5/16 5:23pm

We're way better off than we were in the MWC. You saying that moving to a new conference is the only acceptable change?

It's their duty to be good enough to command good TV contracts.

Though BYU had a much better option available (like Utah did), they didn't want us to take it because it would hurt them

So, BYU was promised third tier broadcasting rights but was then denied them.

At least the MWC learned from that experience. They bent over backwards giving special treatment to Boise.

Wait.. So how was it that BYU "sought to dismantle the MWC". They just wanted to take their football team independent.
