    What I want to know is what is going to happen to Utah St. The real losers in this are the Aggies. I seriously feel bad for them. The WAC will be no more. Where does Utah St. go now?

        I went to a BYU / St. Mary's Bball game back in 04/05. Beautiful little campus, but my high school gym was bigger. I share your sentiments.

          So BYU alone will generate as much or more tv revenue as the entire MWC combined? I'm a little upset since aparently you guys have been holding out on us. I guess we should just be greatful you were kind enough to share, although the mtn sure could have used that HD trailer.

            Trailer? Oh you misguided fan of a Ute. It isn't a mere trailer. It is a stinkin' TRUCK! We can GO PLACES with it! ESPN is enraged with jealousy and will do our bidding as long as we have it. We laugh in your general direction! Ha!

BYU is still a conference member and was not taken by surprise by the Fresno and Nevada invitations. This may turn out to be a bone-headed move on BYU's part, but it won't be because they didn't think this thing through completely. Exposure is what BYU is after. Yes, the extra money is nice, but every move they have made and are yet to make, is driven by exposure and furthering the mission of the school and church. Look how much interest has been generated already, and BYU hasn't even confirmed.
              Sure. "I meant to do that.".
              There's no such thing as luck, only drunken invincibility. Make it happen.

                At least they get a home-and-home annual football game with BYU.

                    See, it is that exact small minded sort of thinking that has kept Utes from having their own piece of enviable HD equipment.

                            Momentous days in sports (like UNR joining the MWC), BYU TV broadcast trucks and ESPN have gone hand in hand for a while now.

                              Isn't Thompson good friends with the CSU folks? Wonder if he lit the pilot light.

                                Not one of Harmon's better columns, IMO:

                                http://www.deseretnews.com/article/7...sure.html?pg=1

                                If BYU goes the independent route, it is because one of the highest-profile programs the LDS Church sponsors — the university and its sports programs — was a light hidden under a bushel in the MWC.
                                BYU's been hidden under a bushel in the MWC all this time Dick? Really?
