Good luck with that. Sports revenue goes red and the BOT drops them.

I doubt that the BOT care much about sports in general. All want BYU to well,

They don't have to, unfortunately.

I will support BYU sports win or lose. Maybe that makes me part of the problem.

I applaud you for your decision. There is value there for you

I agree. You are paying for an entertainment product, not the right

The lack of quality opponents on the home schedule this year doesn't help either

You should be glad that you aren't a fan of Indiana, Purdue, 'Cuse, Minnesota,

Wrong. There are some solid programs in that list that have played stiffer

No, I'm right. Those are good programs that have middling results... & sometimes

You make this too easy. Let's look at Iowa and K-State

I've found watching some other College football teams I like and some NFL games

This is what I've done. I became a fan of the game more than of any one program

Yup!

No. Not even close

Mathew

It totally is fair weather fan behavior. 100%

cambo

Nope. He's probably dropped more coin than you, sat through some tough years.

Mathew

6/19/18 2:16pm

But he just said he's losing interest because the team hasnt been having success

Doesn't matter what he did in the past
