WCC will presumably worth A LOT less w/o Gonzaga. As in worth about nothing. So that's less money to BYU in the future. Gonzaga making deep runs in the NCAA - that would be gone, so all that money dries up for BYU.

BSU gets about $3 million per year in TV money from the MWC contract.

BYU makes about 4.5 million.

I don't think it's the $1.5 million that makes the big difference. I think BYU likes the idea of having more national exposure with more national games in football. But the team sucks. And the coach sucks. And we might be playing games on the Ocho in 2018.

I really think BYU basketball languishes in the WCC. Sure we have games on the BYUTV, but no one is watching. There is no exposure there, only to die hards. You have the BYU vs. Gonzaga game and basically that's it, in terms of some national exposure.

And with the football team having nothing to play for, no conference championship. No real pathway to NY6 bowl, much less the college football NC playoff. And no future pathway to P5.

I think it's time to throw in the towel and get back in a conference.
