A few years ago (don't remember exactly when, but someone on the board will) Thompson invited us back to the MWC and made the comment BYU would have a better chance of getting into a P5 conference if they returned to the MWC. He also indicated "the door is open."
I would like to see BYU get out of the WCC "Bush-League" conference, however, I'm not sure the MWC fans would recognize the value of having BYU in their conference any more than the WCC fans. There are many MWC fans who do not want us back period! Jump on some MWC fan boards and ask if they would like to see BYU back in.
