BYU actually has a good bargaining chip right now

Boise academics will always hold it back

Agreed. "Wokefullness" is a huge hurdle to overcome. Sucks because it shouldn't

I don't think this is that big a deal outside the PAC 12 honestly

Iowa State disagrees.

I don't think they have earned that right 🙂

The Church and the Y are WAY woke,

It’s more important that we be well liked than negotiate in our interest

as long as they hold out for rebroadcast rights for the cheap fans who won't get

None of us have any idea what is behind negotiations. It's too early to be

BYU will not sway MW to be #6. The rest of the programs are all trash outside Boise

molodyets

Don't think BYU makes MWC #6 but they make it close

That's some very mountain colored goggles on the respect ofr USU and Nevada in the CFB world.

They're not respected - but neither is Tulsa or ECU or Temple

Actually, whichever conference BYU goes to has worse of chances at the CFP

MWC + BYU is a solid 7th Best conference

Hotlanta

6/10/21 1:01pm

BYU will never rejoin the MWC. There are a host of reasons

Nat Gas Man

6/10/21 2:04pm

Not as long as Hair Thompson is the commissioner

BYU Grounds

6/10/21 2:22pm

Or Utah State is in the conference

Nat Gas Man

6/10/21 2:29pm

Sunbelt has one good year ever, and you think they've passed the MWC by?

This is probably the worst take of the day and here's why:

We've been turned down by P5 conferences, now turned down by G5? Don't buy it

krindorr

6/10/21 3:17pm

I agree that the conference commissioners get that, and would want it, but

Dwight89

6/10/21 3:55pm

I agree it's at least a stray thought now; but don't think it becomes decisive

Higher overall profile means better chance at inclusion of your champion.

^^^^^ This.

BleedCougarBlue2

I think it just depends on what the School Presidents think about it..

Dwight89

6/10/21 3:57pm

Maybe, but conferences & each individual school know that a strong conference is

BleedCougarBlue2

6/10/21 3:54pm

The AAC with BYU, Boise and SDSU is a better conference, raises their profile

RenoCoug

6/10/21 4:25pm

Partner with UNLV and Nevada? Hahahahahahahahahahahaha😂😂😂

GeorgeAlbertsgoatie

6/10/21 5:06pm

They're moving Pac 12 offices to Las Vegas. Don't be surprised if they do.

RenoCoug

6/10/21 5:19pm

Our best bet is if the Selection Comm demands the AAC
