More and more details continue to emerge on the truth-is-stranger-than-fiction story of two athletic conferences that were forced to eat each other to survive after BYU's intentions were discovered.The barrage of emails that surfaced this week paints a picture of a WAC that thought it was about to become a ...BYU Football: MWC Fans and Media Blasting Cougars Are Missing the Mark
Published on: 25th August, 2010
Ever since the news broke that Brigham Young University was considering announcing its independence in football, fans, media and administrators of the remaining MWC schools have been piling on BYU, calling them "selfish," "arrogant," "underhanded" and--most laughable--"un-christian." All for doing what's best for itself. The root of this hostility is pretty easy ...BYU Independence: What Role Did Fresno and Nevada Play, and What Next?
Published on: 24th August, 2010
It's all out there now, right? We know the basics, anyway. Boy (BYU) meets girl (WAC). Boy gets girl. Girl has two limbs ripped off by scorned ex-girlfriend of boy (MWC).

It's still hampered by a poor TV contract, has ...Conference Expansion: Utah Saves Itself, MWC TV Deal Will Kill the Rest
Published on: 17th June, 2010
It was only a few days ago (when it appeared the Pac-10 was going to land big-fish Texas and its entourage) that I wrote that the top teams in the Mountain West , namely BYU, Utah, TCU, and Boise State should flee their conference, its parasitic bottom-half, and its monumentally ...CFB Realignment: Top Schools Should Ditch Mountain West While They Have Chance
Published on: 12th June, 2010
Boise State officially joined the Mountain West Conference this week. The announcement was as surprising as January snow in Denver. Boise brings a great program with strong tradition (albeit short) and national respect to the MWC. But it won't help the conference. You see, the problem with the MWC isn't at ...
