The ACC thing is good, but not THAT big of a deal.

This is exactly right. Obviously we are all aware of BYU's shortcomings and

If, 5 years from now, the ACC is still the only conference to...

its a big deal. sets a precedent. we still need better coaching and recruitin

I can go with this...

I think you mean "precedent"

..it could work both ways. ACC was 1st.

Ha ha! Thank you Mr. Carson. I've always known you were a good guy!

Disagree. I think joining a P5 ship has sailed sadly - but if BYU

1/29/15 10:55am

On your list of "tough" things, you mention "no P-5". Well, this event today is

CalGTR

1/29/15 10:57am

False. Very big deal. If the rest of the conferences follow suit, it makes

TrueAndBlue

1/29/15 10:57am

P12 has already followed suit, even without an announcement

Turnpike Lane

1/29/15 11:01am

You're completely right--but this is bigger than that, because the ACC did make

Gentleman Stan

1/29/15 11:06am

Yes. Which is good. But press release announcements are even better.

TrueAndBlue

1/29/15 11:07am

We need a bowl tie in with a P5 conference even if its a lower level P5 matchup

franklyvulgar

1/29/15 11:02am

Agreed. I personally don't really care about bowl games and I don't think it

TrueAndBlue

1/29/15 11:11am

You don't get it.

Gentleman Stan

1/29/15 11:05am

I do. My main point is, this is not something to throw in the face of

boogers

1/29/15 11:08am

Wait, a P5 conference officially recognizing BYU as a P5 school doesn't mean

Gentleman Stan

1/29/15 11:11am

lol. ok.

boogers

1/29/15 11:12am

No really. You don't get it.

TrueAndBlue

1/29/15 11:12am

I only matters if it translates into BYU getting better players.

boogers

1/29/15 11:14am

And, you still don't get it.

LiveCoug

It's like getting a promotion in title only, not a pay raise.

boogers

1/29/15 11:20am

No, you really don't. You don't understand that this is a process.

Gentleman Stan

1/29/15 11:27am

That's the point! It WILL

TrueAndBlue

1/29/15 11:21am

Maybe. It certainly won't hurt. It doesn't do much for a lot of

boogers

1/29/15 11:23am

It's a good thing for me if it means better home games in the future

Bonoman

1/29/15 11:05am

Agreed if it means we can finally get a P5 to come to Provo I'm all for it

franklyvulgar

1/29/15 11:13am

By finally do you mean every year for the past three years and every year for

TrueAndBlue

1/29/15 11:24am

One P5 in LES moving forward is a very low bar...won't sustain fan base

Bonoman

1/29/15 3:51pm

And the trend is saying that won't be the case

TrueAndBlue

1/29/15 4:18pm

BYU has had 6 P5's play in LES in the last 3 seasons. That's more than any

Cochise Cat

1/29/15 4:27pm

It's a pretty big deal

RedSox

1/29/15 11:32am

SEC says no P5 still for BYU.

mwc tex

1/29/15 11:35am

How many games against the SEC have we played in the entire history of BYU?

BarraCouga

1/29/15 11:57am

It's not like the SEC met again to discuss the issue and came to the same

CalGTR

1/29/15 12:01pm

True, but two SEC schools have scheduled us since

RedSox

1/29/15 12:07pm

So?

mwc tex

1/29/15 2:39pm

So, we're not coming back to the MWC.

Cochise Cat

From an "ability to schedule quality opponents"

RedSox

Mostly right, but we need some kind of positive news on the college
