Looks like all the rumors were true according to The Salt Lake Tribune…
Brigham Young University will leave the Mountain West Conference, go independent in football and rejoin the Western Athletic Conference in all non-football sports beginning in the fall of 2011, The Salt Lake Tribune confirmed Wednesday morning.
According to a source in the WAC office, BYU will seek final approval for the moves from its owner, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, either today or Thursday. Pending approval, a press conference is planned for early next week. But because of media reports that broke late Tuesday night, that timetable may change.
I still don’t see what BYU is seeing. I don’t see where they are going to make all of this TV revenue. There is a big difference between a BYU-TV and playing on NBC like Notre Dame does. Why would the BCS give them a deal like Notre Dame? I just don’t see how they are better off independent. I laugh at the idea of them wanting to be the “Notre Dame of the West.” This all boils down to them being jealous of Utah’s invite to the Pac-10
