Boise State University has sued the Mountain West Conference. WOW.

Could this result in Boise State bolting from the MWC?

Would the AAC really want to stretch all the way to Boise for a football only?

UCSB is the only UC school ever to be in the WCC.

Why not? I still think both BYU and BSU added to the AAC would not be bad.

Does the AAC have the right to renegotiate TV money if they add 2 teams?

Just a little reminder of why we left in the first place.

For all those who say BYU should just go back and get a TV deal like BSU's.

what is your take on the return to the MWC?

I've always wanted BYU to go to the AAC, not the MWC... but just for the record, we did just go 2-2 vs the MWC

So if both are dumpster fires why would we leave the dumpster fire paying us more and we make our own rules?
JohnnyComeLately

Cause the AAC isn't a dumpster fire...

The AAC is an east coast and Texas conference.

We just traveled 4 times to the east coast this last year, all of them east of Texas.

you should go back and erase all of your posts advocating for the MWC over independence.

I've always advocated for the AAC... but feel that Independence is not any better than the MWC

Do you think it is dishonest to say that you haven't claimed BYU should return to the MWC over independence?

This is the difference b/t BSU & BYU. They sue & we turn the other cheek then finally get out of Dodge.

It doesn't fit the popular CB narrative, but BYU didn't turn the other cheek

They allowed the MWC to kick the can then finally said enough. Turning the other cheek was simply giving them

So you think that Boise didn't have behind-the-scenes discussions with the MWC?

I'm sure they did. The difference is they are suing and we just left.
