I agree such a dirty program, I think it'd be hilarious if everyone didn't schedule them and they had to settle for FCS games week in and week out. Leave it to BYU to have an elitist mentality, Utah got into the PAC 12 so we are to good to play in the mtn west...years later, wait no one still wants us.
The problem IS: Certain MWC schools continue to schedule BYU (ahem). Next year, six of Provo's last nine games are against MWC teams. Although some/most of the original members of the MWC refuse to schedule BYU since they left the conference, certain MWC schools let Provo off the hook. Let BYU flail in the wind -- especially during the 2nd half of each season!
Jay Drew (SL Trib) wrote in a 10/22/2016 column that "It has generally been assumed that the Mountain West would welcome BYU back, but that notion isn't a slam dunk." (*Laughing out loud*)
If BYU scribes ever bring up a possible return to the MWC in one of their columns, just read the comments section. A guy named Naval_Vet does a great job articulating why the odds are slim. He can be brutal and it's a beautiful thing to behold.
