"BYU was a huge addition for them..."

Agreed

"And please don't act like the WCC is beyond reproach."

I'm not. Compared to how the MWC and some of its institutions treated us, it remains a breath of fresh air.

"Gonzaga flirted with joining the MWC less than a year ago, and its fans publicly bashed the WCC as being a terrible conference. The criticism is warranted----some of the schools have gone years and years since making the NCAA tourney."

And, as a result, the scheduling of the regular season and the conference tournament changed to be more favorable to good teams. The entire conference upgraded scheduling in the non-conference and produced results. Some schools are upgrading facilities.

"Look..... BYU is going to be in the WCC a long, long time. I say improve the conference."

Agreed.

"Discussion about adding a quality up and coming school like Grand Canyon is a good thing."

I haven't thought much one way or another about GCU.
