the Pac12. Instead of comparing BYU to it's own former position, they are comparing BYU to Utah's current position.
And I get it. It sucks that Utah is in the Pac12 instead of us. In fact - it's probably the suckiest thing about my life right now. But to suggest BYU would somehow be better off in the MWC is laughable. It's a nonstarter. There is nothing better about the MWC. No one cares about the lame extra NY6 that isn't in the playoff. It's the Boise State bowl. Big deal.
