BYU has a strong case for being considered a "brand" in college football, especially with its deep history, national fanbase, and legacy of memorable players and accomplishments. Here are some reasons why:

Storied Tradition and National Success: BYU has a long history in college football, highlighted by their 1984 national championship win, a Heisman Trophy winner (Ty Detmer), and several other All-Americans. Their unique approach to offense in the 1980s and 90s, especially with a pass-heavy scheme, made BYU a recognizable program nationwide.

NFL Talent Production: BYU has consistently produced NFL players, particularly quarterbacks and skill positions. Players like Steve Young, Taysom Hill, and most recently, Zach Wilson, have kept the program in the national spotlight.

Strong Fanbase and Identity: BYU’s fanbase extends far beyond Utah. Their identity, as the only major program affiliated with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, brings them a large, loyal following. This has helped BYU achieve strong national viewership, regardless of their conference status.
