Hair thinks he has BSU cornered with no other viable options. Seriously, following this saga shows he thinks they have no options but to take what he gives them. He believes he can beat them in court and they won’t pull out of the conference.
BYU and zags need to openly discuss accepting them in all sports. Their b-ball program would be upper level WCC and increase the conference strength.
Football just needs to threaten independence. Then SDSU has to think about it too because there really is no other quality team in the conference. If those two start thinking a jump to WCC maybe you can get the others to cave.
