Leave it to a USU alum to write about how horrible things are at BYU right now.

I agree. Great read.

The point of the article is that it's "not right now" but how it's been for

cougfanz

Agree. This article is fake news. Anyone can see it.

Does neutral/negative exposure equal fake news?

Robinson has been plugged in to BYU at a high level

Ouch! Its always easy to pile on. Better days will come.

The SLC media is piling on heavily! Hang true, Cougs!

It's a well written article.

It’s a good, in depth analysis.

Everyman

I didn't realize we were that close to joining the PAC

Iman23

11/22/17 7:23am

Basically BYU advocated to take Utah as well so the PAC just took Utah

Mr. Jerry

11/22/17 7:39am

Utah actually did lobby for BYU, but it didn't go anywhere

Not quite.

Very good, honest article.

Well written. Our LDS church can’t have a football program in this environment

youngster

Agree. It's changed my thoughts on independence.

Crawling back to the MWC solves nothing

Except for the fact that we'd be more competitive in a conference

shakarocks

11/22/17 9:40am

I agree which is why Independence will probably be the long term solution

TCU is absolutely not a church school, despite the name of it.

TheLoneCougar

11/24/17 10:43am

That’s fine. But it is affiliated with the Disciples of Christ.

demon_llama

11/24/17 12:35pm

Totally agree!

Fervent Cougar

I agree with this article.

Holmoe and Worthen refused to comment for A DNews article?

CallingDingo

11/22/17 8:48am

It also says something about the DNews.

panguitch

11/22/17 8:58am

My guess is they can't comment because

shakarocks

11/22/17 9:41am

Both should be held accountable & BOT must decide if they want a major program!

What_The_Hill?

11/22/17 9:50am

They already made that decision

Great article with new information that had only been speculated about before.

We should have a statue of Ann Richards on our campus

curmudgeon

This article also makes me think in hindsight Ken N. may have been the right

Hawk Talons

11/22/17 9:57am

Maybe but maybe not

shakarocks

11/22/17 10:00am

You are absolutely right.

Hawk Talons

11/22/17 10:08am

Yup. We hired the wrong guy.

mm73

My unsolicited $.02 on this article

11/22/17 11:18am

Crazy that we were pretty much in but needed a travel partner and we vouched for

Vouching for each other held ZERO TV value. It applied

ALUF 1990

Utah was fortunate. They got in for not being BYU.

Downtown

11/22/17 2:16pm

You’re right. Just hard to imagine chris hill promoting byu.

Manutd

11/22/17 5:01pm

So Ann Richards kept us out of TWO P5 conferences?!

I never thought this would happen but I now wonder if sports will be dropped

Robinson does a good job here.

Very well written article. Robinson nailed it.

Some truth. Plenty of hyperbole presented as objectivity.

Coogar2

11/22/17 3:19pm

I have one HUGE quibble. The PAC didn’t look down on religion in the 90s? Wrong
