That is a completely different situation

It doesn't work with two established programs. Ironically, Utah built its program and fan base on playing/beating BYU. A school that averages 45k in attendance doesn't make a school that averages 60k+ irrelevant by not playing them. BYU already has a fan base, nothing Utah does is going to change that.

BYU doesn't want UVU on the schedule, and here's why:

+1 - A day ago, I was hoping for a BYU/UVU matchup, but you changed my mind.

I hadn't considered this. Very good point.

+1. And BYU can avoid that game unless/until UVU builds a top 25 program.

This was going to be my next point. I don't want BYU to be Kansas or Washington.

I dont think anybody would argue against that point

You are wrong about Gonzaga vs UW

Nope. Completely false. GU reported the UW violations, and because of that plus

UW avoided Gonzaga to their own detriment. GU has won 8 of 9 against UW.

So that's why Utah doesn't want to play us....

They did play each other in 2003

2003 was the first year UVSC, now UVU, was Division 1

What's funny is that the admin at UVU does not want to be BYU-lite anymore

3/31/15 3:25pm

LOL. "succumb?" There has been no real mentality or culture shift.

Why not make a fun game out of it? Should BYU actually be afraid

3/31/15 5:43pm

Did you read the OP?

Y Mountain

Absolutely agree...most UVU students are BYU or UU fans.

It also won't do anything good for our OOC SOS.

Won't hurt either so long as it replaces E Kentucky or Southern Virginia

About 6 people on earth care about college baseball, so it doesn't matter.

To play them legitimizes UVU. Rather not have that.

Has BYU lost fans or recruits to Weber St? Southern Utah?

SconnieCoug

Good point. Weber State has started to escalate its program under Rahe..

There are plenty of Weber fans who hate BYU

CaliWG

You lost me at plenty of Weber fans.
