I only get 12-14 BYU football games a year. I’ll watch and await all 12-14...
Regardless of record, lack of “conference championship”/bowl seeding, or offense incompetence...

Argue this all you want, but I believe going back to the MWC is better for BYU.

Regional rivals such as Utah, Utah State, and Boise St?

Because all other teams with it size budget, facilities, fan base are P5.

How many G5 teams have a 60K stadium, and are top 20 in basketball attendance?

Their problem is coaching, boosters and fans with unreal expectations. Familiar?

What about the TV history with the MWC

Thompson is still the MWC commish and he told BYU to pound sand on TV rights

It won't happen....MWC is now a glorified WAC and BYU would drop sports first

If you think we would be giving all that money up IF we were to join a G5
TheLoneCougar

So we give up $20 mil/yr for a chance at a trophy we already have dozens of?

First I don't think we give up $20M.
