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.

Sounds about right. It doesn't really matter though.

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?

We abandoned the wife only after she chucked our only baby in the dumpster.

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

Division Bell

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.

Yep, we called their bluff and won.

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.
