But, stink up the joint in basketball for a few years now, and we are led to believe everything's better in WCC. Sadly, that comparison fits every other western conference out there if PAC isn't an option.

It is what it is. I don't think Gonzaga handled this well, though. For MWC to play its hand to force Gonzaga to stop the bull****; don't think too highly of yourself, you're not that special to do that to another, better conference. That is the kind of stuff that might burn a bridge in the future. If the concessions were the chaser, dragging it out like Gonzaga did to both conferences was poor form. Heck, it was poor form for Gonzaga to let its wandering eyes be a public thing. They'll be lucky if other conferences don't air their dirty laundry and dish on their experiences with the school.

...and I'll continue to wait to see how these concessions really play out for them in the WCC. Because they aren't sustainable changes.

There’s a measurable thing to watch: the 2 extra OOC games. Will the WCC get some great extra OOC games with the PAC, Big 12, AAC, MWC now? Maybe Gonzaga will. I bet the other WCC members don’t though.
