BYU football would be better off in the MWC, but CB has its head in the sand
and will continue to cut off its nose to spite its face.

We complained about the bowl selection in the MWC.

haha. How many NY6 races has BYU even sniffed since going Indy? Hows that going?
Klompus
10/23/19 10:14am
Would being in the MWC have made a difference?
SoCalCoug

It has been a long time since BYU would have "even sniffed" going to a NY bowl

How many BCS bowl games did BYU go to in the MWC?

BYU's W-L record is the problem, not independence.

You forget the conferences changed their agreements after those defections

You're only accepting, not admitting, to what everyone already knows to be the case...

Don't forget the visibility.
Eddie

Exactly on the tv contracts. We were limited in visibility.

The last time? Hmmm...about 3 weeks ago vs Toledo

I saw the Toledo game on my TV. Sorry you were unable to.

That would have been through ESPN+. So exactly what is your point? You would

Klompus
10/23/19 10:08am
Because of UMass's crappy conference TV plan.

UMass is independent I believe

Then their crappy independent deal, which is way worse than ours.

Exposure has done us a lot of good, hasn't it?

BYU could still schedule good home games.

Right, but we would be so much more limited, and as a G5 we will not get good
BYU I Bleed Blue
10/23/19 10:36am
I agree, first thing BYU has to do to be looked at by P5 is win

A lot of teams are willing to play us because their conference considers us a
SoCalCoug
10/23/19 10:42am
You are absolutely correct
Royalblueglasses
10/23/19 12:33pm
Exactly! We would lose out on P5 games and fall to G5 status. Scheduling killer!
BYU I Bleed Blue
10/23/19 1:11pm
there is no good argument for us moving to the MWC before conference realignment. There might be some arguments for it
HarlemCoug
10/23/19 10:42am
Realignment is going to disappoint fans of non-P5 teams.
Everyman
10/23/19 11:31am
until that happens (and considering our great schedules between now and then). It makes no sense to sign with a G5 now.
HarlemCoug
10/23/19 11:41am
Agree.

10/23/19 11:44am
I agree with that. Wait to see how the dust settles. But independence is

Nationally, most people strongly question BYU's choice to be Indy. Its only here
Klompus
10/23/19 9:46am
Because most teams not named ND or Army have a conference so

That's just not true. I find most people accept that BYU can do it.

It is unrealistic for a national person like him to make intelligent comments
Pretorian
10/23/19 12:15pm
He agreed exposure was better.
displacedute
10/23/19 1:12pm
And he may have a point about football - but not for the fans.
Eddie
10/23/19 1:34pm
Meh, they would let BYU work its own TV deal
shakarocks

I'm not convinced. Maybe.

I don't even know what that means - "football wise"?
BlackBart
10/23/19 1:37pm
11-2 in the MWC with a win or two against P5's
shakarocks
10/23/19 3:55pm
No, those two records place BYU and the MWC team in the exact same spot
Pretorian
10/23/19 5:30pm
You really need to think more deeply.
shakarocks
10/23/19 8:51pm
Says the person who makes statements like that without adding supporting details
Pretorian
10/24/19 4:47am
Why should I? You listed the quality of bowl game.
shakarocks
10/24/19 2:02pm
Hypocrisy, you can’t call me out as being short sighted whilst you yourself
Pretorian
10/24/19 8:32pm
How? Less money and less exposure are attributes of being better off?
Archaea
10/23/19 2:54pm
Because BYU is independent you guys have forgotten the value of a conference.
displacedute
10/23/19 5:29pm
Well, I cheer for 2 teams.
Zoobieman
10/23/19 7:01pm
The conference value comes from the relevance of games

I don't long for a minor conference. If we were in a P5 conference then

I guess he missed the fact BYU is playing 2 of the best MWC teams in Nov already
