That's another blow to the Mountain West which really seems to be a stranger and stranger conference.  They are really spread out over hell and back and have lost some big programs.

I'm not sure going independant for BYU will work out as well as it has worked for Notre Dame.  I'm not sure BYU-TV will be quite the winner they think it will be, unless their program improves dramatically.
