I don't understand what the MWC's strategy is. For the league to be the best league possible, adding BSU was a good thing. Losing Utah was a bad thing. Ultimately, the exchange is a wash for football purposes. Far and away though, the best thing the MWC could do would be to drop a school. An 8 team league consisting of the current MWC minus the team with the lowest average ranking during the BCS qualifying period would be much stronger than the MWC would have been if they had held onto Utah or not picked up BSU. Since that is so obviously the case, why isn't that the primary plan?

Originally posted by Bengal Cougar View PostI think the only way a MWC team can be forcibly removed from the conference is if they have committed multiple serious NCAA violations. They also could be removed by a unanimous vote, but no school would vote themselves out.

Originally posted by KillerDog View PostThat's too bad but it does explain why they haven't made the obvious step. The bottom of the MWC doesn't even try to field good programs in football. They should drop the sport."They're good. They've always been good" - David Shaw.
Well, because he thought it was good sport. Because some men aren't looking for anything logical, like money. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn.

Originally posted by SeattleUte View PostIt always kills me that BYU fans are so hateful toward Wyoming. I think they're projecting. It also reflects their congenital blindness to a historical narrative not skewed to their peculiar world view. Wyoming has a fine football tradition. Indeed, but for a disastrous tactical blunder by Wyoming's coach in 1996 BYU's greatest season ever would today be just another ten win season ending in heartach. There is also matter of the Lloyd Eaton and the black 14; Wyoming fans must look at BYU ingrates and think that no "good deed" (I use the term advisedly here) goes unpunished.
