It’s been an interesting story so far and it’s gotten some legs.

Looks like BYU could move to the WAC for all sports except football. BYU football would participate as an independent, ala Notre Dame, Army and Navy.

The loss of BYU would be a serious blow to the Mountain West Conference. ESPN is reporting that the conference is doing everything it can to retain BYU, including sweetening the TV revenue in their favor.

The Mountain West would be in a tough spot for membership as well as the loss of a powerful program like BYU. The conference would have lost Utah and BYU, two of the top programs in the conference. They did bring in Boise St., but they would hardly make up for the loss of both Utah schools. Some rumors have already started popping up about schools like Boise St. and San Diego St. returning to the WAC. One should not rule out the Mountain West exploring a replacement for BYU such as Nevada, Fresno St., or even another Texas school such as Houston to aid TCU.
