Naval Vet Walk-on

Except that with the exception of UNLV...

...the MWC teams that you guys are playing were all in the WAC in 2010, and had thus never made such a vow.

As as for UNLV, that game was only scheduled because the Athletic Director at UNLV at that time was BYU alumnus Jim Livengood. But Jim's gone now, and you have no further scheduled series lined up with UNLV.

To be Mr. Sunshine, we aren't playing in Wyoming or New Mexico.

I'm thinking we should try to play Texas or Nebraska - neutral site in Laramie!

Which is funny because every bitter mwc fan kept saying we shouldn't have left

6/19/17 10:45am

Better than playing Liberty and Idaho State IMO.

Every MWC fan base continues to remind us of this. Good news is it's not a trend

You can't take the MWC out of Imagina U

The nice thing is that we don't have to share the money this time around.

6/19/17 11:04am

And we don't have to be on the crummy Tne Mtn channel!

I don't see this as such a bad thing for this reason

This. We play MW teams when/where we want to, and keep the $$.

I'll take that over a full MWC schedule.

Thug Mormons

6/19/17 11:46am

still much better than MWC schedule

here's to hoping

6/19/17 11:52am

better comparison is BYU to BYU when they were in the MWC

You cherry-picked 2 of BYU's best OOC years ever.

boscatar

6/19/17 1:23pm

So you are agreeing with my conclusion then. Cool

6/19/17 2:56pm

fair point, we may have more swing than Boise St. for scheduling, but I don't

here's to hoping

Here's BYU 2016 compared to Boise 2016 (based on final Sagarin rankings)

boscatar

6/19/17 1:15pm

Agreed, plus the UCLA team we played (pre-rosen injury) was a different team

here's to hoping

6/19/17 1:36pm

You also have to take into account who is televising the games

thought your point was interesting, so I wanted to check to see if those MWC

here's to hoping

I'm OK with not playing UNLV, better to have a branded game in the new stadium

seems people will find a reason to complain until we are in a P5. I have really

I completely agree. Gonna be negative no matter what.

FWIW, I would be *okay* with the MWC, IF

That's odd... so you mean we're scheduling to play teams who are located in our

And in 2021 BYU plays essentially a PAC12 schedule. 5 games vs them. Swings in

Wash St. moved their game with BYU from 2019 to 2021 - so that is the 5th

6/19/17 9:51pm

I think his point was more about the fact that 6 games against MWC wasn't too

here's to hoping

6/19/17 10:17pm

Yet get paid millions more!!

Ghost

6/19/17 6:58pm

Yep, a fact that 99% of MWC fans overlook.

6/19/17 7:00pm

Since there are now double the schools than when BYU was part of the conference
