It's all about perception right now as we navigate our way as a fledgling independent. Honestly, if we could solve the few big problems with independence - scheduling and bowl tie ins - independence is exactly what BYU is made for. We should be independent. And there is potential for fantastic benefits.

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

I'm sorry. This is a big deal.

Perception tends to equality reality. BYU just got a perception win.

1/29/15 10:51am

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

I remember during the game against Virginia this season.........

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

1/29/15 10:52am

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

1/29/15 10:52am

I can go with this...

boogers

1/29/15 10:58am

I think you mean "precedent"

Greg Kite's 'stache

..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

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

1/29/15 11:01am

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

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.

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

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.

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

1/29/15 3:06pm

From an "ability to schedule quality opponents"

RedSox

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