wrong about recruiting and facilities. BYU's facilities are now state of the art. Utah State's are not. BYU has one of the largest on campus football stadiums in the West. Utah State can't even sell out their own stadium except against BYU. Utah State's recruiting pool is much smaller than BYU's. BYU's schedule is better and will continue to get better. Utah State will not be able to hold onto a good coach, as they will go elsewhere as soon as they get the chance.
You keep saying that the two teams are sliding towards parity. I completely disagree.
