Remember the old Big 8 Conference?

In the MWC era for BYU, how many championships did we win over how many years?

I think we could all care less. We're actually very appreciative of those contributions

We do compete for a Conf Title in basketball, just can't win one

I did and still do! We touted that under Lavell. He won 20 out of 29.

But winning the WAC put us in the Holiday bowls, and gave us the chance to win

Just win baby! That will solve it. Conf or Indy. Got to win.

You want sports or not....cut the money and all sports are gone...it is that
Nat Gas Man

Duh, but football pays for itself and a lot more Olympic sports.
CougarMike

you can't have just FB...it doesn't work that way in the NCAA
Nat Gas Man
10/13/17 3:19pm
Title IX, not NCAA. So, if it is just about money

NCAA rule of a minimum of 14 sports, not counting what the AAC would require...=

How about $10M vs. $1M? How do you plan to pay for volleyball, women's BB,

We always made it work. Many universities make it work with less.

You want me to audit all NCAA teams? I really don't have that kind of time.
canofpicante

it's actually public data from the DOE

Well, rummage through it and tell me what you find

We have been a G5 for 100 years. Then Utah moved up and we were left out. All

See, I think I'm beginning to understand you guys.
CMuehle
10/13/17 5:02pm
Spot on. Most of us aren't wired that way. Which is why there are so few of them. This huge letdown in football
Gentleman Stan
10/13/17 5:16pm
So why are we playing Portland St., Utah St., Fresno St., San Jose St,
Cougarfan777
10/13/17 5:25pm
2 or 3 more games against P5s is better than

I see how you ignored the basketball program being banished to the WCC,
Cougarfan777
10/13/17 5:49pm
Banished? The MWC was, for a few years, a very good league. It's less than the WCC
Gentleman Stan
10/13/17 7:44pm
In the last 10 years 7 different MWC bball teams have qualified for the NCAA
Cougarfan777
10/13/17 8:56pm
The MWC is presently a double digit auto bid league with bad tv.

Sorry, C. While we won WAC championships, we also beat TAMU, Wisconsin, SMU

I wish Ricks still had a team. Then you could root for them playing
Bullrider

I would lose interest in the program if we weren't playing interesting teams

winning would solve all of these so-called problems and we would get respect

How does this have POTD nominations? Regardless of how one feels about
gwalker

SDSU and BSU beg to differ
franklyvulgar

Either of them would give up what they have to be in the spot BYU is in.
Lance71
10/13/17 7:25pm
For the money or the prestige of being Indy?

10/13/17 8:02pm
Money, TV, reputation, etc....
