Independence vs. MWC

Independence to the death before a return to the MWC. Curious-- once the Utes lose a couple games, don't you no longer

Yes, I think indy is better than MWC for recruiting. Just look at the difference in teams played & TV.

soupie

9/12/17 2:17pm

Don't you think recruits would rather play on ESPN every week rather than a channel no one has including pac12 channels?

They impact the conference all season. When are they officially out? Lose two

BYU can act as a spoiler too. Just ask TX & Neb & Ok.

All those teams can still win their conference. As the Big 12 found out,

But better than BYU has done during indy plus MWC/AAC Champ can go NY6.

Would if they could. Boise has no other choices. They have no other invites & aren't capable of going Indy.

soupie

I don't think many of us look at Boise and feel any envy for their situation.

And you see no connection between Indy and the quality of our teams?

Cougarfan777

I do, but I think our recruiting versus MWC is better.

BYU can point to it's schedule and say for a fact that a recruit can play on some of the biggest stages in the country.

Yes, we get to play 3-4 "brand" games a year, but then we're stuck playing a

Never MWC. I would prefer we convince Boise to join the AAC with us.

BYU has a national fan base. The AAC is far less regional than the MWC.

I don't think anyone is saying that these teams are more talented.

I dont think the # is significant.

CougarinOZ

9/12/17 3:40pm

They got out because they could make much more money as an independent.

Bullrider

9/12/17 2:59pm

I think TV, $, and conference could all work out if BYU wanted back in.

CougarinOZ

9/12/17 3:46pm

Why do you assume they would even want us? The MWC was more than just

Bullrider

Maybe you're right. However I think they will work with us.

Go down fighting to be either independent or a P5 member

kotacoug

I think your opinion is a minority opinion. Most BYU fans were fans in the MWC

CougarinOZ

Yea, it sucks in November when we have to play MWC teams.

Rhino84

Yeah, because Wyoming almost beat us in the Holiday bowl.

Lesser quality opponent is alright if the games count for something.
