I can agree on this....I think Thompson has done BYU a favor by demolishing the WAC. BYU stands to lose a lot and the MWC will stay status quo or gain.
Right now, the MWC does not have a BCS aq status and lets be real, its a long shot to ever get one with or without BYU.
A highly ranked MWC champion will likely recieve an at large BCS bid for years to come even without BYU although they will need to get one more quality win instead of counting on beating BYU (again, how many BCS games/revenue has BYU brought?).
We get another regional rival in Reno and and old rival in Fresno....big bonus for SDSU and UNLV.
BYU will have to run the table to get a BCS game....just like they'd have to do in the MWC.
