When BYU schedules NIU, BYU is just another G5-type, mid-major program that can't put together a P5 schedule or get into a P5 conference

- BUT -

When Utah schedules NIU, it is taking a "break" from the rigors of the murderous PAC10+2 schedule.

Yet, both BYU AND Utah schedule a H-H with NIU. Where's Utah's H-A-H, two-for-one that comes with being a big, bad member of the PAC10+2?

If one really wanted to take a dig at the Yewts, one could say that NIU doesn't trust the Yewts to keep the commitment because Utah has to go to NIU (2018) before NIU goes to Utah (2019); and in back-to-back years. On the other hand, BYU gets NIU at home first in 2018 and doesn't go back to NIU until 2020.

Sad, little brother. Very sad.
