There is a reason Gonzaga wants out...

even if it is an incremental step up for them it is better than no step at all. BYU may not want to leave the WCC, but without Gonzaga where is the mountain to climb, where is the team to aspire to be year in and year out? St. Mary's?

Amazing how BYU fans are able to rationalize the position of the program and say everything will be ok.

The talent level has gone way down. OR

The mood has definitely come down a few pegs since this was written

Wow. That's painful to read, honestly.

I take comfort knowing that Rose feels we'll be just fine... Kool-Aid anyone?

i agree there are problems with BYU in a WCC without the zags

Doug Robinson doesn't understand the concept of Continuity and Experience

nephicoug

3/19/18 3:51pm

Agreed. Biggest issue has been lack of continuity. Mika/Emery missing this year

Mr. Scoobs

3/19/18 4:05pm

Totally agree. and when you add in injuries, it gets even worse

Cougforgood

Or continuity and medicrity; honestly the metrics of BYU basketball since 2011

Again, lack of continuity and mediocrity go hand in hand for programs that don't

We know nothing about what is happening behind the scenes. Robinson doesn't

It’s nice that everyone feels it is time to move on.

I think the question Doug asks is whether we're pursuing.

I agree. I would prefer the MWC in all sports to what we have now.

Brigham

3/19/18 6:52pm

Moving to the MWC is fine for basketball. You can't look at this in a basketball

3/19/18 4:09pm

Rose unlike Trump, knows how a negotiation works. Of course you SAY we're fine

What if this article had come from the Tribune? Would

Robinson has to complain while he can. With Mika, BYU dances this year

Coogar2

3/19/18 4:53pm

While he can? You think BYU is going on a run of tourney appearances? 20 win

Ah good stuff. Can always count on CB for a good laugh

Great article. I agree wholeheartedly.

I don't agree that we "mistakenly" left the MWC seven years ago. It is always

We're mediocre in a bad league so we need to move to a tougher league to fix it?

Stalwart Man

3/19/18 7:42pm

Absolutely! BYU is not going to be able to recruit the level of talent needed by

FanofBYU

3/20/18 7:41am

Would recruiting increase exponentially being in a better conference?
