The WAC would have to apply for an NCAA waiver for conference recognition, having dropped below 8 members. Â Sure they could recruit replacements, Â but the three departing schools were THE revenue generators for the conf. Â No way Cal Poly SLO is going to replace that. Â AND...BYU has to plan now for it\'s other sports. Â They could dominate the WAC...but who would want to commit to a conference that is melting before our eyes? Â If La. Tech bolts the WAC I think they are in the vertical plunge.
I agree with Garvin.  Don\'t think BYU would get $10+ million they think their own network games would generate,  but they might double the MWC payout.  Seems like the MWC strategy is ALL about getting to automatic BCS bid status.  Does a BCS bid generate enough revenue to pay for the additional members?   But as garvin pointed out, the problem is scheduling.  BYU could be everybody\'s pre-season darling,  but with most schools tied up in conference schedules mid-season and late,  who of any stature  is going to jack their schedules (and the schedules of their conferences) just to accomodate a game with BYU?  Does not compute.  Does not compute.
