Hair Thompson rides again

change can be good. The baseball and women's soccer teams would be joining a much weaker league. Basketball would probably be better. The rest of the sports are pretty much a wash as far as I can tell.

Remember the snake story. It fits Hair Thompson.

Not that big of a deal. Just get what we want in writing. Comcast was the real villain as far as the TV situation went and they're no longer there.

If Gonzaga moves the the MWC their fans will regret it in less than 4 years. The league isn't friendly to successful private institutions. Gonzaga fans will quickly become tired of how they're portrayed by the other school fans

I have two comments:

1. I’d be fine joining the MWC in everything but football with Gonzaga.

2. This thread title’s is perfect.

Interesting to see the different fan base reactions

Gonzaga fans generally see BYU as an advantage. You can see a lot of sour grapes from fans in the MWC, but yet, there is actually a bit more temperate of a view than I expected. Time has a way of softening memories.

I'm in favor of a move in basketball+Olympic sports. Not sure about Football yet, though I might feel differently if this year turns out anything like the last one.



The biggest question riding on my mind is whether BYU's struggles in the WCC have been a result of the style of play in the WCC vs. the MWC, or if the difference between BYU's player potential vs. performance is actually widening. It might be a combination of both.

I wonder if the location of games is having an impact on recruiting. We do not seem to get a lot of recruits from the west coast area. We use to play mostly in the mountain west area.
