fair enough, I guess most anything shared on here meets the definition of
propoganda. But it is still true information.

That stepping down to a G5 would be anything but a death sentence for BYU.

You mean stepping sideways to a G5

It's not sideways

BYU is in a unique situation compared to other schools. You are ignoring that.

Not true. The BCS and P5 were both designed to exclude non-members

We were G5 for 30 years leading up to independence

And so was Utah. They are P5 now... THAT is the key difference.

G5 won't cure our problem with front-loaded schedules! It'll make it worse.

This is what the G5 crowd doesn't get. We'd play the same teams in G5

Indy is sustainable for football as long as ESPN pays BYU fairly for its home games.
Turnpike Lane

And it is certainly more sustainable than dropping down to G5.

I see G5 is more of a side step than down step I think Indy is overrated
franklyvulgar

How is it not a down step? It is a negative tragectory. It moves us backward.

9/25/17 3:48pm
Indy was a temporary landing spot until the P5 happened it appears that door is

Nobody noticed that the P5 quit caring about the OOC requirements.

Nope. They only ignored it for really bad teams that couldn't win
