Keeping bridges around (and thus options to choose from) is always a good policy. The alternate simply leaves you with fewer possibilities to select from in deciding what will be best for you.

I totally agree -- it's kinda silly how the MWC is trying to rebuild a bridge that they themselves burned.

I don't mind, I read till I reach my destination,
sometimes a newspaper, sometimes a book,
the money I save, this stuff is off the hook,

As an out of state fan I love being on ESPN every week. But I also love conference championships. Even though the goal is to win the national championship, that's not going to happen very often. So it's nice to be able to still win some sort of championship on a regular basis. But I do not want to go back to the MWC.

This year I really missed having a conference championship to compete for.

But I sure love the independent TV deal, the variety of schedule, and that the P5 conferences count BYU as a P5 game for scheduling purposes. I would hate to give that up.

What is funny is trying to watch a BYU away game in any sport. No way that BYU joins a confernce if they are going to be saddled with less TV time

And how am I going to see the BYU-Colorado Basketball game tomorrow? Dumb Pac-12.

I can say this: If BYU ever negotiates to return to the MWC, they'd be sure to include an air-tight media contract that gives BYU total control over all broadcast rights. That's the only way I could live with it.

The current media arrangement with the WCC actually works really well for other sports. That kind of arrangement would have to be in place for all sports before returning would even be halfway acceptable.
