Well we're screwed then. Independence is not a viable long term solution.

We're well on our way to becoming permanently irrelevant.

Some CBers have taken this viewpoint

Just because Bronco said it, doesn't make it true.

Holmoe also said it

That was bronco holmoe. Kalani holmoe is all in!!

I believe TH said it too.

Why is it not a viable long term solution?

$$$$$$$$$$$

That's a non-answer to my question as to why Indy isn't viable but G5 is.

CMuehle

10/17/16 10:09pm

They may not think G5 is viable either

TNT

10/17/16 10:10pm

Are you suggesting that every G5 school from Boise State to Houston

CMuehle

10/17/16 10:13pm

No, but teams like bsu and houston can't fill their 35k stadium and they are

Stucoug83

10/17/16 10:17pm

Yea, but we *can* fill our stadium, which means we are in better shape than they

CMuehle

10/17/16 10:19pm

I hope so. The schedule looks a lot better which will help at negotiations

Stucoug83

10/17/16 10:27pm

$$$$ is absolutely the reason G5 is not going to work. It is too bad, but true

Stucoug83

10/17/16 10:12pm

Come on. Are you suggesting that every G5 school is now going to have to

CMuehle

We shouldn't throw in the towel ever, but we must be willing to invest if we

Is it crazy to think the church will let our program will burn to the ground?

BlueFamily

10/17/16 10:16pm

I think they will support it. But i don't know much

Stucoug83

10/17/16 10:41pm

Yes it is. Can't compete with the big boys w/out $. We won't have leverage

sgriff

10/17/16 10:13pm

Didn't fully read. G5 wouldn't be much better. Still not much money.

sgriff

10/17/16 10:14pm

Don't be a drama queen.

CMuehle

10/17/16 10:15pm

That's not true at all. Sec and big get $32M. PAC gets $25M. We aren't close

sgriff

10/17/16 11:04pm

Unbalanced scheduling. Postseason access. Money.

foofcoug

10/17/16 10:16pm

So your position is we're dead? We can't get in a P5. But if Independence is death then G5 is even worse.

10/17/16 10:11pm

Yes, the G5 schools will be in trouble too.

eddog

10/17/16 10:20pm

Ok

10/17/16 10:21pm

So long as we have a front loaded schedule with nary a return game, then

CougarVikingSeaSider

10/17/16 10:12pm

Which specific non return games are you referring to?

10/17/16 10:13pm

My bad. I meant a rare return game in November

CougarVikingSeaSider

10/17/16 11:10pm

Bronco said indy not viable long term. I wonder what he's thinking tonight.

Gcouga

10/17/16 10:37pm

I've always thought they ment not viable to keep up with p5 schools.
