You are allowed to change your vote. And I'd like to know what day this announcement will happen. Tomorrow, Thursday, Friday, etc...

The football program needs to get out of the MWC desperately because as long as the Cougs are playing 6 patises every year, they aren't going to get the respect nationally to be able to compete for a national title, especially when they struggle with good non-conference foes, TCU and Utah. Their SOS needs to start going up, but the problem with that is their wins will start declining.

I can't believe so many of you choose BYU will remain in the Mtn. West and get an independent TV deal... Talk about naive. For that to happen comcast and CBS would have to sign off on it. Why would they give up their biggest piece of the Mtn. West puzzle (BYU in football) for absolutely nothing? I mean it's common sense! Am I missing something?!? Don't even give me the answer, well they could still have BYU basketball games, no! There's not enough money there for it to mean a dag gone thing to them! It's like if you were standing there listening to a brand new iPod touch, and somebody walked up to you and said, Hey Can I have that? and you respond, "Well I don't know... I guess so!" and the person that now has your ipod says thanks! I'll leave you with the case cover. and somehow you'd be happy with that and just let that happen?

Comcast would give it up, to broadcast BYU's away games. Some BYU football would be better then no BYU football. This would allow them to keep most of the ads from companies in Utah as well. They should know they can't have the whole pie by now, so they should be happy to settle for a piece.

Sorry I just completely disagree, they have no real motive, as I pointed out and to be honest I feel they know that BYU is very close to being stuck between a rock and a hard place. That's why I hope for BYU to go independent in football alone and the rest of their sports to stay in the mtn. west.

I apologize, I reset the vote on accident!! Many apologies. But just so you know, "BYU in the MWC. Independent TV Contract" was winning with 73%.

I voted for what I hope will happen.

According to Jay Drew's blog, Option 3 isn't an option. That's why I picked the Independent TV Deal option.

* Not sure if this is from Thompson or Schwab, but the idea that BYU could go independent in football and keep its other sports in the MWC is not an option. MWC bylaws state that football is one of four "core" sports that league members must participate in.

I voted for the big 12 with ND although I doubt it happens right now but will likely happen a few months down the road after byu goes independent by sept. 1. I'm not sure where they will land their other sports in the meantime, but suspect it will be the WAC for the short term.

I hope it happens Friday and I hope it's what I heard it would be.
