Looks like BYU will have a home in the San Francisco Bowl played at AT&T Park.

Arizona's main newspaper is asking for Hall to be the starting QB.

News here in Reno is that both Nevada and Fresno have agreed to join the MWC and are moving forward as if BYU is not leaving:

"Thompson said BYU has not left the MWC and that he is operating as if the Cougars will be in the conference for the foreseeable future. Although the MWC has a lenient exit policy -- "the most lenient in the country," Thompson said -- he's hopeful BYU will stay in the league but admitted he "did not know BYU's intentions."

"Adding Boise State might not stop a Utah or TCU from jumping to the Pac-10 or Big 12 if either eventually reached that point -- but the league won't necessarily be a sitting duck, either. For all its cuddly, smurf-turf origins, Boise State is now a nationally renowned program that will likely start in the preseason top five this summer. BYU and TCU have rich histories that include national champions and Heisman winners. Utah and Boise have both notched multiple undefeated seasons over the past six years.

You'd be talking about a pretty buzz-worthy conference that, once the dust clears, may not have to fight so hard for respect. With all the money ESPN and FOX are throwing around these days, the Mountain West could even find itself on a network where people can see it once its current deals with Comcast and CBS College Sports expire in 2014.

This seems like a no-brainer, Mountain West presidents."

Fredette returning to BYU for senior year.

Interesting article about MWC and the BCS

CNNSI.com cover story has writer Stewart Mandel picking BYU to go to the Final Four:

"The committee gifted the Cougars an opportunity to play in their Salt Lake City backyard if they can get through the first two rounds. Banged-up Syracuse is vulnerable to begin with, and Fredette can break down its zone."
