Do you ever wonder if rejoining a conference is even an option? Do you think that they'd have trouble gaining entrance to, say, the American? I wonder if there'd be some of the same grass roots resistance we saw with the B12 students? I don't see how they could go back to the MWC (and I'd choose American over MWC personally) without losing face and even if they tried, I could envision some measure of resistance there too.

My ideal non-P5 situation for BYU football: Stay indy and enter into a scheduling agreement with a conference for 4-6 games per year. Conference preferences: 1. Any P5, 2. MWC, 3. AAC.
Obviously, the AAC is probably better competition, but regularly playing old WAC/MWC foes could be fun for old times' sake.Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

If the current trajectory of both major programs at BYU are any indication, I'd be fine if the BOT pulled a BYU-Idaho."Either evolution or intelligent design can account for the athlete, but neither can account for the sports fan." - Robert Brault

lol you guys are funny. We have an NC schedule during a rebuilding year. This is what happens. Put that MWC on hold."I'm anti, can't no government handle a commando / Your man don't want it, Trump's a bitch! I'll make his whole brand go under,"

Those conferences would take byu in a heartbeat. In spite of a few vocal idiots.
As for the AAC, don't forget that the predecessor of the AAC, the Big East, tried to lure BYU before settling for BSU and SDSU. Then, when the Big-East - AAC split happened, BSU negotiated their way back into the MWC with a preferential TV deal (getting ESPN home games and bonus money). SDSU, now without a western partner, made their way back to the MWC shortly thereafter (and is perennially stuck with CBSSN games). The AAC is now championing themselves as one of the "Power 6" conferences (even though nobody else calls them that). They'll do what they can do to put separation between themselves and the MWC, including inviting BYU (again)."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"

Originally posted by Pelado View PostFrom time to time, I'll visit the MWC message board. There is often an active thread thread there about BYU coming back to the MWC or a new "best of the rest" conference being formed with BYU and the "best" of the MWC and AAC. If we wanted back into the MWC, I'm confident we could go back pretty much anytime we want.
Whether independence has been good overall for BYU or bad overall for BYU is debatable. Personally, it seems to me that it's been good overall. In any event, returning to this mess of a conference the Molehill Worst now is would be lunacy. Since the MWC has become such a turd, conference titles no longer mean much so the sole benefit I can see would be the chance to get to a New Year's bowl game."I think it was King Benjamin who said 'you sorry ass shitbags who have no skills that the market values also have an obligation to have the attitude that if one day you do in fact win the PowerBall Lottery that you will then impart of your substance to those without.'"
