Former BYU player says Cougars should return to the Mountain West

Conference realignment has been circled around the Big 12 in who they may or may not invite but there is a new twist when a former BYU football player is suggesting that the Cougars go back to the Mountain West.

Former offensive lineman Jason Buck played for BYU in the late 1980s and won the Outland Trophy award in 1986 and was a first-round NFL Draft pick, so his opinion carries some weight.

Buck has consistently said that BYU should have never left the Mountain West for independence back in 2011 and his opinion has not wavered.
