If BYU can beef up their schedule, I think it's a great move. Although I've said the last year or two that I'm not sure the MWC is too far below the Big East or ACC. They did great in the bowls too.
But I understand why BYU would do it... Utah's leaving and could have a recruiting edge by being in the Pac 10. BYU has a following across the country because of the church. They leave, get more TV money, beef up the schedule... even if they win 8 or 9 games instead of 11... they might end up in a better bowl.
I wonder what Boise State thinks now. They made the right move but it's not going to be the "non-BCS" powerhouse conference it could've been.
