The only team that merits any kind of 'work around' is Notre Dame, and they are not in the discussion. No thanks to BYU.
This comment is a perfect example of how ****ed up this conference is...**** WVU right? I mean it's not like we made a commitment to them, they just filled a void that the Big 12 was scrambling to fill.
Correct. They needed a place to avoid being UCONN'd. The league needed a couple members. Instead of Louisville someone thought WVU was the better choice, flagship and all.
I guess it matters to me since that's what I said. We didn't have anyone in the eastern time zone when Colorado was here.
Remember this....
Closest school to BYU is 869 miles (TTU). And yes I'm aware, adding BYU is pretty much a mirror image of adding WVU...only Mormon.

+1000% regarding BYU. A few games with them and we will not remember that we used to hate KU and Iowa. This is based on seeing more than a few Colo State/BYU bb and football games. Until they left the MWC they were the most disliked team with any other team a very distant 2nd.

I'd add UNLV and BYU. BYU it's by far the best brand available, and UNLV gives a good TV market, plus the exposure from playing in Vegas.
Sounds good.
All these posts based on who they "like" (largely meaning fanbase). We aren't looking for a drinking buddy. Any candidate worth bringing in will be hated soon enough.

This is why you'd need East & West divisions- so BYU & WVU don't have to visit each other often. BYU is used to traveling anyways since they're independent. Add Cincy & the Mountaineers are much happier. Think the Bearcats are a weak addition? Some may have felt the same about TCU a couple decades ago. Football-wise they are doing quite well.
