Two years later, the Utah State Aggies still say they never tried to steal BYU from the Mountain West. Which is a good thing, considering USU is soon to become a member of that same conference. USU athletics director Scott Barnes said on Friday there remains a misconception of his role in BYU's near-move to the WAC in every sport except football. Furthermore, he said Utah State didn't received an offer to join the Mountain West at that time.
Last month USU accepted an invitation to join the MWC.
