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

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