WCC Interested In BYU's Non-Football Sports

Man this is getting interesting.

WCC commissioner Jamie Zaninovich told ESPN.com early Wednesday the league would be interested in pursuing BYU for all sports except football. Zaninovich said BYU would fit well with the other church-based institutions in the eight-team league. Zaninovich told ESPN.com he reached out to BYU but hasn't heard back.

This has to be the biggest, weirdest news day in MWC history.

my next post

I think BYU is playing all and will come back to the MWC and then they will add Houston to be a 12 team league.

I think that is going to be the final outcome

but I think BYU really was planing to leave. But it’s about money…and a shot at the BCS bowls

what about this

The MWC lets BYU stay and gets all home game rights… no reason to go in all other sports, and then they play a limited MWC football schedule as a independent?

Any thoughts?
