advantages over Indy. Do you want to be on an Indy team or in a power conference if you're a player? No conference championship. No access to the best bowls. Terrible tv slots. Terrible schedules against small teams in small stadiums with small fan bases. Comparatively small booster donations etc etc.

And.. we were unwilling to pay players. You think Oregon and Washington weren't paying the Utah high school players they got?

It's a miracle what our coaches accomplished with so many headwinds.
