[QUOTE="Froggy Style, post: 891894, member: 89"] No, it's an attempt to shrink division I down so there is more money for UT. If Utah and BYU had stayed in the MWC for another year, it would have forced the NCAA to give the MWC an auto bid and keep all conferences around. UT, in conjunction with ESPN and the PAC 10, made sure that did not happen. It may have been UT's 5th or 6th priority, but you can bet reducing local competition was a positive on their pros and cons list. They've know they were going indy for some time now. Why play around with the PAC 10 and Big 12? They're pulling the strings to their master plan. Why act like you want to be in a conference with Houston or TCU? They've already blown up that conference before because it didn't fit their taste. UT fans are livid right now that TCU is ranked #2 while UT goes 5-7; not that it means we're on their top five list of things to worry about, but it's still out there. That puts enormous pressure on their higher ups. If they can take TCU out on their way to independence, you can bet they will try to do it. If you don't think they want to reduce competition around them after watching the way they are blowing up everything around them without regard to ANY of their conference-mates, then you're not paying attention very closely. It's not conspiracy, it's just greed run amok. [/QUOTE]
