This kind of attitude drives me crazy.

We act as if we're soooooo much better than everyone else in the WCC because we have a big arena. I don't know if you've noticed, but we have yet to win a WCC championship and are 10-6 in conference.

It sucks to admit it, but there's Gonzaga, St Mary's, and everyone else, and we're one of the rest of the pack.

If we are too big for it then why aren’t we winning?

It's funny you think we are too big for a conference with a perennial Top 10

and 3 perennial Bottom 10 schools as well.

I have a hard time believing anybody cares whether we play Air Force or Pacific.

Lance71

2/20/18 8:57pm

That's exactly right. The benefit we get playing Gonzaga and St Mary's instead

You're comparing the bottom of the MW with the 4th place WCC team.

jackcrack7

2/21/18 9:51am

You make my point exactly. Nobody cares about any of those teams either way.

Lance71

2/21/18 4:35pm

The WCC Group of 7 (7 bottom feeder schools) kills the conference.

Why do you care about the number of seats in a gym?

2/20/18 6:48pm

BYU fans have been using attendance smack for YEARS.

Eddie

2/20/18 6:51pm

OUR attendance. Nobody but utes try and use other team's attendance numbers.

Are half our games in high school gyms? Tell me where I'm wrong, but we play...

Because most complainers about small gyms don't offer an alternative.

The point of playing is to win...At this level, nothing else matters.

You can whine or you can enjoy what is and cheer for them to win.

Honestly, why doesn't the WCC try to add UNLV and SDSU?

Richbyu

2/21/18 9:00am

Because UNLV and SDSU do not "fit" the WCC's faith based private school model

flyzag

2/21/18 9:13am

Why can't the model be changed? Is it set in stone?

Richbyu

2/21/18 9:25am

Where do you think UNLV or SDSU go for football?

Eddie

2/21/18 9:16am

Much easier for them to consider Indy if they have a scheduling deal.

Richbyu

2/21/18 9:30am

They are all sure it isn't working for BYU - why would they want to do that?

Eddie

2/21/18 9:42am

Wait a couple years...the MWC is going to get a very very low TV deal, I believe

Richbyu

Why would anyone in the MW want to move over to the WCC.

jackcrack7

BYU did.

Richbyu

Doesn't mean that it's a smart decision. Lot's of fans want to go back.

I'm with you on this... The WCC has been a big downgrade as far as basketball.
