Gonzaga to the MWC did, and IMO, still does, make a lot of sense.
There was talk of BYU following Gonzaga to the MWC. That would leave SMC as the lone consistently good program in the WCC.
SMC and BYU are the only other consistently good programs in the WCC, whereas the MWC has: Nevada, UNLV, New Mexico, Boise State, Utah State, and San Diego State. Even Colorado State has had some success.
I think that Gonzaga may eventually end up in the MWC, even though they got a better deal from the WCC to stay.
There was a 4 year period from 2010-2013 where the MWC was a top 6 conference every year, BYU was still in the MWC for 2 of those years.
