and scheduled tough opponents. Recruited across the country and got one or two top Utah players. We won and built a brand along with football. Gonzaga has done the same that now.

And we should be happy Gonzaga stuck with us and the WCC this past summer.

This is exactly right. WCC isn't the problem.

Yes. That post is also a year old.

The WCC benefits quite a bit from BYU. Not like they did it out of charity.

I wouldn’t doubt they’re a little disappointed with our BB contribution, tbh.

That's the take away from my post? Of course they didn't do it out of charity.

The WCC didn't just invite BYU out of the goodness of their hearts.

It's math. It's a better league. The WCC is the 8th best league this season, and

The WCC is a 1 bid league right now....

The MWC was a 1-bid league in 2016 and 2017. The last time the WCC was a one bid

The WCC was a 1-bid league last year, and will be again this year...

SMC is in the First 4 out, with possibly 4 Quadrant 1 games left. How can you

Gentleman Stan

2/25/19 3:38pm

All I measure is total NCAA tourney bids, like you posted above with the MWC.

Richbyu

2/25/19 3:49pm

That's the final metric, along with NCAA Tournament wins.

Gentleman Stan

2/25/19 4:03pm

4 bids this year? What in the world?

UNHuskerCoug

8th best conference? Come on Stanley! It’s a perennial 1 bid league.

Also, spare me the dumb tactic of calling anyone who doesn't praise the WCC

A reasonable argument. Still no point in slamming the WCC.

I have to disagree. The style of play coupled with bad losses to low RPI teams

You do realize that the WCC is significantly stronger than the MWC

Gentleman Stan

2/25/19 3:26pm

WCC has been good to BYU, better than MWC would have remained.

My beef is that the top is too good and that the bottom has largely been bad.

"Makes us look small"...as in the small WCC?
