BYU would have participated in the meetings where the MWC discussed inviting Nevada and Fresno. BYU knew it was coming, they just didn't figure that Nevada and Fresno would actually do it with the 5 million buyouts. BYU had insider WAC info that the MWC didn't. The WAC was shocked that they accepted and so was BYU. The WAC is screwed, other than being possibly 10 million richer. For BYU, they lost their deal with the WAC, but GAINED the option of staying in a stronger MWC.



Point is, it didn't blow up in BYU's face. They lost 1 option and gained another. BYU still has 3 possibilities. WCC and independence. Stay in a stronger MWC as is. And stay in the MWC with broadcasting rights. All 3 of these possibilities leave BYU better off than they were last year.


Frankly, I am still skeptical as to whether Fresno State can pay the $5 million buyout (if actually required to do so). The state of California is in severe financial disarray, especially the school/university system. FSU's coach agreed to a PAY CUT last month. One month ago.

Does FSU really have $5 million to throw at the WAC? I think their only hope is that the buyout is moot because BYU did not opt for the WAC.

Anybody who says Tom Holmoe is doing a bad job or not doing his job is in no way in touch with reality.



Holmoe for president!
