it might damage the fanbase but I doubt it would turn them back towards the Y

to renew the rivalry if BYU is only going 8-5 every year. I'd bet if BYU started winning 10-12 games a year consistently and Utah was still struggling with difficult SOS and losing that would probably be a motivator. They'd get sick of reading how great BYU is and want a crack at playing the spoiler. IT all boils down to this...

...BYU just needs to win.

At some point, Utah not playing BYU is going to kill their fan base.

Good prediction considering their fanbase is more anti-BYU than pro-Utah.

It never makes sense to cheer for Utah, we have more to lose than anybody

not when we beat them to end the season and they raised our SOS by winning

I agree, back in the day it was best for BYU to beat a good Utah team

in my mind it was't worth cheering for Utah over a few SOS points

Utah's fan base is well established. This is wishful thinking.
