Dennis Dodds. Still hatin'

I love how he keeps saying Baylor and TCU are as religious an institution as BYU

The guy is an idiot. Very few schools could remain independent for as long

He's not an idiot. But he does have an ax to grind.

Whether he's an idiot or not, that analysis was idiotic.

Agreed. But i think he's calculated in his statements. Which is not idiotic.

Which is saying something. I think most of the local guys are dopes.

That's my point. Local guys are dopes, and he's minimally better than a dope.

Has he asked those "voting block" Big 12 schools if they're voting yes on BYU?

He doesn't get it

5/6/16 1:51pm

What a simple-minded analysis. Of all the reasons that the B12 would reject BYU,

Apparently Texas, TCU & TT are a voting block now at 30% of the conference

His rationales are transparent, but unimpeachable ... if you're a Ute

Dodd is wrong.

Such nonsense. BYU isn't in a conference because it was rejected by the Pac-X,

If this is really howB12 administrators think, then those guys are out of touch

He knows nothing. He even said he doesn't have any sources on that. He's just

He just makes crap up; no sources or anything

You guys are clicking on his article right? Keep doing that and the DJ and PK

This quote tells you all you need to know about how he went about this:

LOL. UCF is more "footbally" than anyone else on the list?

what a jerk. Our independence hasn't failed, nor did we think we were "better"

Also, let's be clear - BYU is better than the programs in the MWC

5/6/16 2:44pm

I'm not good at the maths, but I think $8M-$12M indy payout > $3M-$4M MWC payout

5/6/16 2:47pm

BYU reported a total of 4.8M in TV and radio money in 2014. Not 8-12M, and not

Reported where and to whom?

Here, apparently:

OK, using those numbers 4.8M is still > 2.2M (highest MWC payout in 2014)

5/6/16 3:31pm

Yeah, I would assume it's a step up from the MWC, even if it's not 8-12M.

Yes, Dodds. All religions vote as a block on everything. You are a genius.
