You have it backwards; Utah’s President tipped off Craig Thompson about BYU’s
intent to move non-football sports to the WAC. Thompson then preemptively invited Fresno and Nevada from the WAC to join the MWC, thereby weakening and destabilizing the WAC. The Fresno AD was particularly two-faced and your university President Michael Young colluded with Thompson to harm BYU in a matter that had ZERO direct impact on Utah. Is it any wonder why some BYU sports fans dislike your school?

There was no ‘arrangement’ to have other MWC schools leave with us other than the fantasies of the WAC president and ADs that they could lure additional schools to the WAC once BYU was on board.
