The staying in the MWC expansion groundswell

[LiveCoug]

This thread sucks.

It's all yours SU.

I wouldn't mind. It's not like anything has really changed. Everyone hates us and we then proceed to defeat all of them but TCU on the field of play. That's become pretty much a routine for the last few years.

Sure, but then what do we do with this beauty?



FM already has an RV.

Just like I think going independent is a short term move, I think staying in the MWC would be a short term move. Hair may win the battle, but BYU will win the war.

You could use it to store all of your "Quest For Independence!" t-shirts until next year.

Can someone make a good case for staying with the status quo? Especially with FSU and Nevada coming into the conference? I have a hard time seeing much of an upside, beyond the seeming security of being in a conference. Is that security worth the lost revenues and lack of distribution rights?

Well, I would miss Wyoming. I like playing them. Their hate for us is very appealing.

In football? No.

When you add basketball into the mix, yes someone can make a good case. The marginal benefits of being independent do not outweigh the what it does to the basketball program.

So, big announcement coming from MWC and CUSA tonight, apparently. Joint conference championship game?

Chances the winner gets an auto-bid?

Doesn't this basically become the first Super Conference?

that would suck. We leave and they get an auto bid...

I can't see them getting an auto bid. I think they leave it with the Big East if it manages to find enough teams to stay together.

Holy crap! I just read about the merger. Good luck with that guys. 22 teams?!?!?

12. 22. Whatever it takes.

[landpoke]

Ok, just read up on this. It's not a merger. Both conferences will continue to play a MWC or CUSA conference schedule with the respective champions meeting for the coveted Alliance Championship presented by TBD.

So anyway, Viva The Alliance! Or whatever.

Sounds like their is some schedule pact too. Mostly to cut out BYU from access to cusa teams. Bastards!
