    Well, truth be told, we were kinda hoping BYU would slip us a few bucks from its new video truck revenue. We don't like having the smallest budget of any PAC school.

      The Big 12 won't. They went from 8 conference games to 9. Several teams are looking to shed a Non-Conference game. That is why Iowa St bought out of their return game in 2011.

          What is the B-10 doing? They have 9 games right now. What did they decide with expansion?

            They'll play each team in their division then 3 against the other division. One of those is a guaranteed game, mostly to preserve rivalries like Michigan-OSU and Illinois-Northwestern.

              So 8 conference games. 11 teams should be looking for another game, but I bet that the MAC fills most of them and they will be looking for a 1 and done home game.

                SU, sadly dabrockster is right. What with the departure of byu and, to a lesser extent, utah and fresno/nevada unable to join next year the MWC is done. And the schools left are also done. Not only as football programs but as institutions of higher learning. DONE, FINISHED, F-U-#-K-E-D. Most just don't know it yet.

                With an insurmountable two, COUNT THEM DAMMIT TWO, games to fill next year Wyoming, ever at the forefront, has done the prudent thing and begun dismantling its stadium. I'm sure the others will follow suit forthwith. On the bright side whatever cash is raised through the sale of scrap metal will be distributed to the hard working taxpayers of Wyoming. Because that's how we roll in the 307.

                There's no such thing as luck, only drunken invincibility. Make it happen.

You all would be better off if you questioned the representations made by BYU. But go ahead and bite the hand that feeds you. It is true that weak programs can schedule all the road games they want against top shelf BCS programs. It's always been that way. Where do you think the big teams get their early season patsies?
                  It's a shame you're not a BYU fan, you've got our schtick down pat. We could use a team player like you to toe the party line.
