Richbyu Walk-on

Those schools that can earn money on their own (UNLV, SDSU), might change their mind.

If BYU was playing, and losing, at Southern Utah...

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

Look, imagine if Oregon joined the WCC. Crazy thought but still, imagine it,

It wouldn't be a question if we were winning

I see your point, but we wouldn't be playing football games in SUU venues and...

Well ...they play in USUs stadium which is itty bitty

But still bigger than 90% of wcc arenas.

What is wrong with these people?! Don’t they realize that it all boils down

It's called "branding," and it's why we are independent in football, if you

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.

Richbyu

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

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.

Check my history. I'm a broken record for a return to either the MWC or AAC for

Good luck with that. I think any gym size complainers should be required to

The data is already there that the MWC dwarfs the WCC in attendance even with

Lol. Yes, keep knocking down those straw men. Nobody, of course, contests the

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

Thats where you’re wrong; things that matter (in order):

WCC is a lot like the Big West for fan support. Neither conference has any fan

This kind of attitude drives me crazy.

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

Michicoug

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

Richbyu

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

jackcrack7

2/21/18 9:52am

BYU did.

Richbyu

2/21/18 9:58am

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.
