The year after Utah left? Truly proactive.

The same year.

gwalker

It was the same year and it would have been a dumb move to do it before then

darkcoug

And had been in the works for years

molodyets

That was reactionary. Did it occur before or after Utah left the MWC?

No it wasn’t, BYUtv was already built. It had already been in the works before.

Would we have gone independent if utah and TCU stayed in the MWC?

The creation of the MWC was proactive. The move to independence was proactive

No. It was reactive to Utah leaving. No reason to bury our head in sand

There is no way they would be able to get a decent schedule w/o announcing it.

The point is that you can't have a decent schedule for years down the road.

You can't be serious, if utah was still in mwc we would still be in mwc.
