Gonzaga and BYU basketball to the Mountain West?
http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/spo ... story.html
I thought the WCC was about as stable as it got for a conference. But maybe not. The Mountain West was to get back to a multi-bid league and Gonzaga is sick of sharing their loot with their WCC bretheren.
Very interesting.

Re: Gonzaga and BYU basketball to the Mountain West?
So Gonzaga moves to the MW for all sports (especially basketball) - no football?
And with Gonzaga moving to MW, BYU follows and brings football or stays independent (can't see that as the Power 4 consolidate scheduling power).
NMSU leaves the WAC?
14 for Basketball and Football at 12 or 13....
Or do they ignore NMSU and boot Wyoming to the Big Sky.....
Well would like to see NMSU, Wyoming and USD in the Big Sky for football but Wyoming won't drop to FCS.

I don't think BYU has any interest of joining the MW in football.Montanabob wrote:So Gonzaga moves to the MW for all sports (especially basketball) - no football?

Re: Gonzaga and BYU basketball to the Mountain West?
I hate Gonzaga basketball more than just about anything. that said, they should totally leave the conference, or at the very least threaten to leave the conference. they bring in boatloads of cash that gets divided up between the rest of the league. surprised they've went this long before threatening this move.BelgradeBobcat wrote:http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/spo ... story.html

Why would you hate them? I admire what Few has done there.ilovethecats wrote:I hate Gonzaga basketball more than just about anything. that said, they should totally leave the conference, or at the very least threaten to leave the conference. they bring in boatloads of cash that gets divided up between the rest of the league. surprised they've went this long before threatening this move.BelgradeBobcat wrote:http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/spo ... story.html

WCC sweetened the pie for Gonzaga to stay.

Well UW rolled over NMSU, only thing on their board is how UNM sucks and should drop. After the death chop last night, maybe both drop to FCS. UW top defense in group of 5.Montanabob wrote: ↑Thu Mar 01, 2018 3:14 pmSo Gonzaga moves to the MW for all sports (especially basketball) - no football?
