The PAC-10 is a lame conference. The ONLY benefit the Cougs would gain by being in the PAC-10 would be the extra money the bowl "championship" series brings in. Otherwise, on a governing and policy level there are soooo many drawbacks to being in a conference with schools like Cal and Stanford. BYU would be at constant war with those schools and their agenda.
So, a much better scenario is for the Cougs and yewts to stay in the MWC but wiggle the conference into the bcs money pile with an automatic bid, or even better would be an automatic bid into an actual playoff. But that's a different subject.
If the MWC gets an automatic payday, I mean bid, then over only a few short years the recruiting, scheduling, facilities and performance on the field would improve dramatically. It would start a chain reaction that would make BYU a perennial top-10 contender. There would be 3 top-25 MWC teams at all times.
People talking about wanting to join the PAC-10 reminds me of when so many people were excited about the prospect of hiring Kwhitt. It may look good on paper, but it's a really bad idea. Let's just do what it take to get our conference hands in the bcs cookie jar and forget about the PAC-10.

Keep dreaming. The chances of a playoff being implemented are much greater than the chances of the MWC getting an automatic BCS bid. |

Perhaps my biggest problem with the BCS isn't that USC and Texas get all the money/glory/etc., it's that the Baylors, WSU's, Dukes, Uconn's, Syracuses, Wake Forests, etc. get to ride the gravy train all the way. Those teams would give the UNLV's, SDSU's, San Jose States, and UAB's a lot of competition for the cellar-dweller positions in their respective conferences.
I don't know what they are gravy training. A million or two a year from the BCS? Who cares? That's not big money in today's college athletics. Many of those schools make up for their terrible football performances by being great in basketball and bring revenue to the conference in that way.
Those schools certainly don't get glory unless they beat the aforementioned Texas, USC, Florida type teams.
But that's why the BCS wasn't created for Duke, or Baylor, or Wake Forest. It was created for the 10 teams that are the most accomplished and most popular nationwide. They are Florida, Florida State, Miami, Michigan, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Oklahoma, Ohio State, Penn State, and USC. They have combined for 61% of the AP top 5 finishes over the last 30 years and not surprisingly 50% of all BCS bids.
Boy, if I were an AD that could gravy-train like that (1-2 million) without doing A THING on the field, then I would be a happy cat...

That chances of that happening are slim and none, an slim is busy sitting in front of his cable TV channel crusing looking for the MTN broadcast.

LOL! Looks like you could use a bit of karma to bring you up to zero. Here's some coming your way. What's with using Airwolf's old avatar?
