So independence working on a long-term basis for BYU

Yes.

You know what are some other can't miss destinations for visiting fans?

I think he's talking about making Provo a can't-miss experience for

What did south bend offer in the late 20's when they went independent?

Nothing you say is untrue.

I'd sure like to know how we can make P5 money while being Indy

Win, win, win. Then get a contract with NBC or CBS.

Oh, and join Gonzaga in the Big East

Post a counter argument?

ok go Amazon

The counter argument is fine but why do you feel the need to try to. Dictate

As much as we've improved and things are looking up, without a P-5 conference

Umm... Cotton Bowl, 1996 is calling

Dissenter

And it was in the Bowl Alliance just before 1996 as well...

BYUFam1

6/17/16 8:37am

It was clearly a top 6 bowl. The BCA was only 3 bowls. The Rose wasn't in it either.

All very true, but I'm talking since independence

Agree 100%

TheWookie

These are fair points. They are also not very consistent with what we're hearing

al3124

Should probably read more carefully

Downtown

You mean the part where you claim to have a better understanding

Those are three names I enjoy; Marvin, Velma, and Provo.

Independence working is contingent on one thing.

Love the Fletch reference as well. I disagree with your skeptical cynicism.
