I have been a defenseless victim of the Mountain Network since its inception on September 1, 2006. It is by far the worst sporting network on cable television. There is no HD, they have ignorant commentators, a spineless chairman, and horrible pay out to its schools. It is no wonder all the schools in the conference are abandoning ship.
When my little ears heard today that TCU may be moving to the Big East, I was ecstatic. It was like sugar on my tongue. With the departure of Utah, BYU, and possibly TCU, I see no reason for the MWC to stay around. Who wants to watch UNLV vs UNM? Not me, and I think 99.9% of the nation would agree with me.
Let me just run a quick fact past you to tickle your brain. Each year, the MWC television deal pays its schools 1.5 million dollars. In 2014, BYU will be playing West Virginia in Washington D.C.;payout: 2.5 million. There are hundreds of examples like this that show how asinine being part of the MWC is.
Lastly, if TCU is leaving the conference, I have a proposition: I would gather BYU, Utah, TCU, BSU, Nevada, Fresno, UNM, UNLV, Kansas, Kansas St, Air Force, and one other team, and create a supper conference. This would most likely ensure an automatic BCS bid, be very competitive in all other sports, and they could make even more money by starting their own network. I know BYU has great HD equipment that they would most likely let the conference use. Let's get rid of Independence, the Pac 12, Wac, MWC, and create a new, improved, dominating conference.
