The Valley isn't really anywhere anymore so I doubt that.

It's better than the WCC with them in the Valley and Gonzaga gone. The Valley has had every member compete for at-large spots the last 12 years, the WCC just 3.

Try looking at a map with this one.

Which is why Houston and New Mexico State used to be Valley members, right? And that was decades ago, think of things now days and proposed coast-to-coast conferences and conferences that spread from New England to Texas and across numerous time zones.

BYU would bring a lot to any conference and I mean any conference, even the SEC and B1G. The biggest hold up is the baggage that comes with them. The Valley would be thrilled to add them if necessary.

NMSU and Houston are still east-2-west quite a lot closer to the MVC than Utah is.

If Creighton and Wichita were still in the MVC than it would be perhaps with a talk but in its current state I don't think so.
