Is the MWC that bad now? How are they more meaningful if they are that bad?

Far from perfect, but generally good. BYU does need to win more... esp at home.

While the program has declined in the period of independence, it is not because

And Tom's decision to hire KS.

Tom's decision to force KS to hire Detmer was a bigger problem.

And you KNOW he forced to hire him, how?

KS went out of his way to throw TD under the bus. He's never done that to Grimes

Because Kalani wanted to win games, Tom wanted to win the press conference.

Or KS was jealous that his OC was more popular with the fans.

Spot on analysis. Maybe, if we were between 10 and 12 wins in Indy, we could say

Zero sum for football and a huge negative for b-ball.

B-ball isn’t independent and the WCC is better than the MW

Other than Gonzaga, the WCC is not exciting.

Is Nevada? UNLV was 30 years ago... New Mexico? Or are you still dreaming about

Half of the WCC teams have BBall arenas with less then 5k attendance per game

Yet we still can't win the conference and usually get 3rd.

We get 3rd because Gonzaga is a great team, no shame in losing to them and

Because the MWC isn't as good? Why stop there? Why not Big Sky?

Not sure where you are going with this, but Big Sky is definitely not as good as

Right, if MWC is an improvement because they are not as good, Big Sky would be

Huge negative in what way? Where would BYU b-ball be now had it stayed MWC?

Probably a conference championship or two, and more meaningful conference games.

That’s considered huge? So beating the mighty MWC champion (season and tourney)

More meaningful? The MWC is not very good.

Meaningful in the sense of regional rivalries.

A good mix between zero sum and positive. Mostly evened out tho.

Agree with some of the comments above. “Best case scenario under current circumstances” is the missed option.
