My outlook is one of a former athlete

When I compete I like to be competing for something more than just a single win. The title chase is important. I have not enjoyed the previous seasons as much as I enjoyed the title chases in the MWC or WAC.

I'm all for independence at the moment but I'm not nearly as dismissive of those that aren't enjoying it very much.

BYU has an athletic budget of 60 mil, 20 above

MWC football only? That's a worse idea than MWC full membership.

You said a scheduling agreement would be better, sure, but you also said

Only scheduling agreement that makes sense is with a P5 conf.

Of course preferable but I dont think a P5 conference wants this.

BYU fans would never see this as an acceptable option, even if it was a good one
