Former Albany County Commissioner Dick Van Pelt? Of course he does, he's an alum.Originally posted by statman View PostDick van Pelt does too...There's no such thing as luck, only drunken invincibility. Make it happen.

Maybe they'll go semi-pro like the soccer team.Originally posted by SteelBlue View PostCan anyone tell me what happens to a sport that nobody gives a damn about like Men's swimming? As far as I can tell neither the WAC nor the WCC have men's swimming. I can't imagine BYU would drop the program, so what kind of options would they have?

Do you think that is still alive? Is BYU willing to give up all hopes for a Big 12 invite to commit to such a conference? I can't imagine they'd let us join without a full commitment for several years...Originally posted by oxcoug View PostOne of the weirdest and most credible rumors I've heard today -
ESPN has been working on creating its own conference that would invite the best of the MWC and the WAC to play in one place.

I'd just like to say that there is no way in hell that BYU does this independence thing without something on paper from the Big 12.That which may be asserted without evidence may be dismissed without evidence. -C. Hitchens

Why are people on CB talking as if ESPN is the mastemind behind the WAC-MWC juggling? Does ESPN even care? They must really want the HD truck.Last edited by jay santos; 08-18-2010, 08:03 PM.

Wow--UNR guy just stated that the exit fee would not have existed if BYU were not joining the WAC.
In other words, BYU didn't want UNR or Fresno to leave, and BYU was really planning on going ot the WAC.That which may be asserted without evidence may be dismissed without evidence. -C. Hitchens

Listening to Vegas radio on the way home, the local UNLV fans are pretty vitrolic towards BYU. Significantly more so than normal, and that includes the radio hosts. They all cannot believe BYU would go behind the rest of the MWC's backs and consider independence. I was pretty ambivalent about the idea until I heard the local radio, but i'm all for anything that has UNLV fans this up in arms.Prepare to put mustard on those words, for you will soon be consuming them, along with this slice of humble pie that comes direct from the oven of shame set at gas mark “egg on your face”! -- Moss

Announcing indy would not take away from any future big 12 invites, so I doubt we will know anything in 2 weeks that would make an indy move bad.
We cant go to the WAC now, and we certainly do the WCC, so hopefully the MWC will let us create our own TV contracts like Texas.
