But all 8 MWC schools bailed on the other 8. So who
are they to claim BYU screwed them by going Independent. It is and was all business.

Allegations that BYU tried to persuade SDSU and UNLV to jump to the WAC to make a great BB conference.

And Nevada and Fresno to stay in the WAC. But Hair scooped them.

BYU gets paid way more, and is on National TV way more and plays better teams
