Not to be pedantic but it didn't have Texas - Texas was in the Southwestern Conf
It did have Nebraska (which was the country's elite football program for many years), Mizzou, OK State, and Kansas State.

In the MWC era for BYU, how many championships did we win over how many years?

You want sports or not....cut the money and all sports are gone...it is that

Spot on. Most of us aren't wired that way. Which is why there are so few of them. This huge letdown in football

I see how you ignored the basketball program being banished to the WCC,
Cougarfan777
10/13/17 5:49pm
Banished? The MWC was, for a few years, a very good league. It's less than the WCC
Gentleman Stan

In the last 10 years 7 different MWC bball teams have qualified for the NCAA
Cougarfan777

The MWC is presently a double digit auto bid league with bad tv.

Either of them would give up what they have to be in the spot BYU is in.
