So they can attempt to backstab everybody again?
Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on me!

Let them rot. I want that institution to fail miserably in both sports and academia.

Christ, they play Utah State, Boise State, Fresno State, San Jose State, UNLV, and Hawaii in 2017. It's almost like they never left. The MWC needs to stop scheduling these asshats and let them die a slow, independent death.

BYU can just continue to do what they have been doing the last few years...

Let them continue to reap what they sow. If it was just about the quality of the program sure have them replace San Jose in the West division. It isn't just about that though. They had their grubby fingers way too deep in the officiating and then the previous attempt to kill the conference. No thanks, let em rot.

MWC Already has 12 teams... Doesn't look like the MWC has room for them, and that's fine with me
I'm good for 3!

I would trade them for San Jose state it would mean more money for the conference as a whole and would boost the conference competitively.

I don’t see it happening and it would take some serious pride swallowing from byu and I feel like they would discontinue there program rather then crawl back and admit they weren’t as good as they thought they were.

No way. Let the backstabbers sleep in the bed they made. Nothing makes me more happy than to see them struggle

They are similar to Boise State in terms of thinking of themselves superior to MW. But there is a reason neither has been invited to join a P-5 conference. Bet each of you know the reason for both those institutions. (religion & academics)

No thanks, we should just build a new university in Jackson, with the Tetons as the back drop for the football stadium. Then we can harvest all the west star valley. Would be prime location for sweet rivalry games. Could u imagine the amount of hot rich... Err, nevermind. Jackson would be the coolest college town in the u.s.

Spot on. The MWC should have banded together to not schedule those f-word. Instead, they have 6 of their opponents from the MWC. They got their cake (TV Money) and are eating it too (MWC Scheduling).

Had the above 6 not scheduled them, it would have pushed them further into obscurity. I wish that program a long, slow, boring death. Pricks.

TIC I hope. Jackson is a nightmare unless you have $1,000,000,000 in the bank.

What arrogance! BYU has slim to no chance of being invited back into the MWC....and slim just left the building. The way that BYU acted while they were members of the conference, acting like they are better than everyone else and should be treated in a special way did not win ANY friends. Secondly the way that they left, basically saying, screw you MWC and any obligations we might have to you...you can guess how that made people feel! Lastly, their still shear arrogance at...gee the MWC is good enough I guess until a real conference comes along like a Power 5....that shows that they haven't changed whatsoever. The MWC will not become a stepping stone for BYU no matter how much additional exposure people think that they bring. What does it say about the conference if they allow BYU to step all over the conference and then leave another time? The schools and their administrations will not let that happen.

Let BYU rot out on the limb that they chose for themselves. They have a delusional fan base and add the sheer arrogance of their fan bases makes them an outcase in the world of NCAA Div. 1 football....so why would we want them back? I used to think that their national exposure would help the conference, but seeing how their schedule has deteriorated over the years, that has even gone away. What once BYU might have added to the conference has completely gone away, there is no reason whatsoever to invite them and if BYU comes knocking on the door, every door should be closed to them....forever!

Someone on the other board mentioned that he had a conversation on a plane with a Director of Championships for the MWC coming back from Vegas one time. He asked about BYU being invited back, and the response was basically, BYU was not a good partner when they were in the conference before and won no friends when they left, and there was no way that she saw BYU coming back! I was very glad to read this.

You know who will decide if BYU and the MWC get the ol' band back together? TV.

I dont want them back anymore than the next Poke fan, but looking at the MW now is very different from when they were a part of the conference. I hesitate to say it will never happen. They have 6 MW schools on their schedule and I'm sure those 6 would accept them into the MW. SDSU probably would too, as would Nevada. The only MW schools who would probably be staunchly opposed are the real old WAC front range teams, WYO, CSU and AFA, probably UNM too. No one else would probably be terribly against them or harbor a lot of old, negative feelings against them. Most of the current MW hasn't shared a conference with them as long as we have.

ESPN money is gone unless you are in a P5 conference. Did you not see that ESPN is bleeding cash and they just laid off a ton of on-air talent? BYU's next contract with ESPN (which is not a sure thing), will be so small in comparison it isn't funny. ESPN is going to spend what bucks it has left on the biggies like the PAC12, SEC, ACC and Big10. Everybody's money in the G5 conferences that didn't have long term contracts with ESPN like Wyoming received a lot less money this year. No I don't agree, ESPN will not be the one who decides, it will be the MWC school presidents and AD's....even 7 years has not rinsed out the bad taste in peoples mouths in the MWC toward BYU.

Vomited in my mouth reading that. To be honest, we all know the MWC is a shell of what it once was. But yes....
