great job HH, watching these dumbasses squirm makes me squirm with happiness.
Drop a deuce in someone's backseat. One member over there admitted he did that to an unlocked car in an RTD parking lot.

Done deal: According to the SL Tribune (the non-LDS paper) http://www.sltrib.com/sltrib/cougars/50131959-88/byu-football-television-conference.html.csp
Utah: "We're out. We're gonna play in the Pac 10."
BYU: "Oh yeah? Well we're going to the WAC! Take that world!"
This. Is. Hilarious.
Wait, we're a real conference too, we're going to be a BCS AQ soon, you wait and see, we have the BCS buster UU, oh wait, they left, well, we have a MNC BYU, oh wait they left, well we got Boise, oh wait they are backing out [Goat fan drops to floor kicking feet and crying]...stop laughing without me!
Say what again?
Boise is backing out of the MWC? link? Or did I miss it?
I gotta say, if true, this is flat out High - Larious.
Potentially more troubling for the Mountain West: a change-of-mind by Boise State that could return the Broncos to the WAC. The WAC office source confirmed that scenario as a possibility. Boise State would face no penalty if it did wish to return, the source said.

I'm confused here. It seems like BYU is way overplaying their hand here. They have no draw outside of the Mormon church, their TV network is ****, and no one is clamoring to put them on the schedule. BYU does not move the needle like Notre Dame does for college fans. So basically they are giving up their conference for a potentially ****tier schedule, and still no BCS berth, because there is no way that they should have the auto birth that Notre Dame does (Notre Dame shouldn't have it either, but thats a different story). How is this a help to them at all? Spite is going to make them make a bad choice.

How stupid is Kiszla's idea of going to the MWC look right now? Think I'll send him an email about it.
You're missing the point. BYU will not play second fiddle to Utah under any circumstances. Just look at the cumstains who came here posing as Utah fans after the P10 deal went down.
They don't want to play second fiddle, but that's the hand they're dealt. It's a pipe dream that going independent will somehow lift their profile. They will have two choices: they can decide to make TV money and consequently have to schedule big-time programs. Those programs won't want to do 1 for 1 schedules with BYU, maybe they can get some 2 for 1 deals. They will consistently lose against those types of teams. Alternatively, they can decide that they want wins and schedule teams that nobody wants to watch on TV, thus cutting their revenue and ensuring that they won't ever be ranked in the top 10.
They screwed themselves trying to keep up with the Utes. Good times!:thumbsup:
I just don't see how BYU is gonna find teams to schedule late in the year. There are very few independents in D1. The affiliated teams are in the heart of their conference games in late Oct/early Nov. It's gonna take some real creativity, and prolly a bunch of $, to get other schools to revamp their schedules and add a late season game with bring 'em young.

Joe Schad reporting MWC looking at all options including concessions to BYU to keep them in the conference.
Make it the BYU's bitch conference, which I'm sure would go over swimmingly with TCU. :rofl2:
It was mentioned in the article that the WAC was willing to engage in a cross-scheduling agreement with the Y - maybe 4 games per year. And, in years that BYU makes the trip to Hawaii, they can play a 13th game (at home naturally). I really don't think that they would have that hard of a time finding games. They could offer a larger payday to anyone willing to visit Provo as they regularly sell 65,000 tickets no matter who the opponent is. I also think that they could schedule games against enough lower tier BCS teams and non-AQ teams to fill out their schedule. And, since they keep any and all $$$ generated by their football program and in-house network, I think that they would do OK. Now, is OK better or worse than they have it now? I guess that is the risk they are willing to take.I just don't see how BYU is gonna find teams to schedule late in the year. There are very few independents in D1.

Yeah I bet TCU would bail if that were to happen.
where's TCU going to go? They aren't some football power that brings TV sets.
