We went Independent because no one wanted us and we wanted $.

It was a straight up $ decision and we didn't want to stay in the MWC and get nothing while our rival was making bank. We make no money = we get killed in recruiting. Unfortunately that might still be happening any way.

Also, we wanted BYUtv, which also equates to $ and exposure.

I can say the same about the Utes joining the Pac 10+2.

It was the best option available, and it still is.

Doesn't mean it was/ is a great thing to do.

12/22/14 6:49am

So that's a debate on its own...whether we should've stayed in the MWC or not

It was "greater" than remaining in MWC. Of course, 0.0000001>0

BYU basically has a standing offer to join the AAC anytime they want.

I don't see any way BYU doesn't make the playoff next year if we're undefeated.

No way in the world 4 P5s on the schedule is enough. None!

No way? What about next year? Undefeated, we'd definitely be in the playoff.

Florida State would not have made it if they weren't the defending champs.

While I agree that BYU is one of few teams, and the only non-P5 team, that

I don't disagree with your facts, but your conclusion is poor reasoning.

Sort of. While BSU is certainly the only reason why ESPN contracted with MWC,
