For most BYU fans, the PAC was the dream. It was the girl you always wanted. She would flirt with you, date you but really just kept you in the friend corner. This goes all the way back to the 70's when the Arizona schools left the WAC. Today, the PAC still makes so much sense for BYU. It's fan base is largely concentrated in PAC markets, and BYU's brand, academics and facilities are all worthy of PAC inclusion. But to continue with analogy above, BYU has been largely rejected by the PAC. We now have a conference that absolutely wants us and culturally they are probably a better fit than the PAC. So just like the girl we always wanted, once we finally found someone that really wants us, the appeal of the old girl is fading quickly. This is also compounded by the current instability in college football and the PAC. As a BYU fan that lives in Oregon and follows the Ducks as my #2 team, I would still love to see the Cougs in the same conference as the Ducks. But it does feel like the PAC ship has sailed for BYU.
