It seems they want that out there as a contrary position, for some reason.

I can think of a few reasons, but it bugs me to hear it. Honestly, every time I hear that coming from BYUtv itself, it makes me wonder if there isn't still talk of going back to the MWC.

That would truly suck, imo

Honestly, I think (& hope) he's putting that stuff out simply to placate those many small-minded fans in our fanbase that have similar views.
