You may be right, I don't know the facts. But that's what they believe.

I know something was going on to cause Thompson to so quickly invite the best teams from the WAC.

BYU dominated the WAC/MWC across all sports for 30 years. Gonna make enemies.

ag4cougs

2/21/18 9:53am

And most of the MWC also had a yewt-like opposition to the Church as a result.

TailgateU

2/21/18 10:45am

Lolzzzzz. A lot of Utah fans are LDS soooo...

DocUte

2/21/18 4:57pm

Sure, but those who aren't care as much about the Church as the BYU. You know

BYU was treated poorly by some (most?) of the MWC schools for many
