The 4 big myths of the SHOULD BYU GO TO BACK TO THE MOUNTAIN WEST?!? argument

Well, it’s still the summer. And BYU is approaching the 2018 season with modest, at best, expectations, after a disastrous 2017 season. And you know what that means? Time to argue about whether BYU should go back to the Mountain West.

The takes have been an offseason staple for about as long as BYU has been an independent. Sometimes they come from BYU fans. Sometimes the concern comes from trolling Utah fans. Sometimes it comes from other national analysts. No matter where it’s coming from though, the arguments typically aren’t new.

Jay Drew of the Salt Lake Tribune recently published a good roundup of where everybody stands, from national writers to locals to BYU fans.
