member? We're still going to be largely recruiting LDS players which by in large don't come from Iowa, or Kansas or Oklahoma

It isn't about location. It is about staying in the game.

Why not FCS w/byutv deal = 100% LDS footprint

mosterlow

7/31/15 10:30pm

Is our goal to stick within an LDS footprint?

mobius

7/31/15 10:32pm

Being in the LDS foot print is meaningless as far as this decision goes....

I think if we got in the Big12 everyone would be excited to be in a p5 league

I live in Texas, I haven't seen any new West Virginia dans around here. I'd

ray ray

7/31/15 10:41pm

Yeah, why would we want to recruit in places like Texas or Oklahoma?

How many Oklahoma recruits do you honestly think we'd be pulling as a BIG12

ray ray

7/31/15 10:57pm

More than we have now.

flyusaf

7/31/15 10:59pm

It would help in Texas, pretty marginally in the rest of the BIG12. It would

ray ray

7/31/15 11:05pm

It's not about landing recruits that would otherwise sign with OU. Sheeesh...

Kerbouchard

I don't disagree with this. I was addressing the claim that we'd be getting a

ray ray

7/31/15 11:34pm

You assume we'd regularly have USC/UCLA on the schedule

mobius

7/31/15 11:48pm

No, I don't, I'm trying to look at what a representative Indy schedule would

ray ray

7/31/15 11:52pm

You mean like 2017 where other than Utah we don't have any PAC12 games scheduled

mobius

7/31/15 11:57pm

hhhmm, why didn't you choose 2018?

ray ray

8/1/15 12:09am

Because with just one year I could prove your point wrong

mobius

8/1/15 12:22am

Stop exaggerating to make your point look better. I said on a representative

ray ray

8/1/15 12:27am

Right, we still have no idea what the average Indy schedule is like

mobius

8/1/15 12:43am

True, we don't know exactly what a long term Indy schedule looks like. That

ray ray

8/1/15 12:49am

So, you think 2/3 games annually against the PAC12 makes up for not being P5?

mobius

8/1/15 12:55am

cmon, where did I say that? I think Indy as a whole > BIG12 and that BIG12 makes

ray ray

8/1/15 1:06am

Indy means not P5. That's where you said it.

mobius

Madness.

It's cool, great minds think alike.

Bronco disagrees. BYU has more in common

SaintGeorgeYFan

7/31/15 10:56pm

Praytell, why are Texas, Oklahoma, etc. a "bad match" for BYU?

flyusaf

7/31/15 10:56pm

Thats like saying why is playing BSU bad for us. Yes, the UT and OU games would

ray ray

7/31/15 11:01pm

And?????

Kerbouchard

7/31/15 11:03pm

So by that logic, we should join the MWC? The point is just looking at BIG12

ray ray

7/31/15 11:07pm

BYU stays Indy, BYU becomes irrelevant. If you can't see that, I can't help you.

Kerbouchard

7/31/15 11:29pm

No, not true

ray ray

7/31/15 11:35pm

Yes, absolutely true. You're living in Oz.

Kerbouchard

7/31/15 11:50pm

No, not true even if you stomp your feet. I live in Texas, blessed land

ray ray

8/1/15 12:09am

You should be more informed about college football then.

Kerbouchard

8/1/15 12:14am

you sure proved your point, well done, you clearly know A LOT

ray ray

8/1/15 12:18am

Those places have great game day atmosphere, which is what I would go for.

flyusaf

7/31/15 11:04pm

Yup! WVU, ISU and Texas Tech are awesome game weekend destinations.

TechTexan

8/1/15 7:47am

You should try and get to Bronco and talk some sense into him

Walter Bellhaven

7/31/15 10:57pm

Oh the irony of this board pointing Bronco as the definitive source of what is

ray ray

7/31/15 11:03pm

In this case, he's absolutely right. You make zero sense.

flyusaf

7/31/15 11:05pm

Ok, if flyusaf says so I'm sure it is right

I don't see money as mattering much, we have sufficient already, recruiting I

ray ray

7/31/15 11:38pm

Money helps with every thing, both Holmoe and Bronco have made comments...

BengalCougar

7/31/15 11:44pm

That's one way of looking at it.

Walter Bellhaven

7/31/15 11:06pm

that makes me an idiot if we take your idiotic definitive statements as truth

ray ray

7/31/15 11:10pm

LOL! Who's "we"?

Walter Bellhaven

7/31/15 11:13pm

You aren't following the logic, "we" would be anyone reading your statement

ray ray

7/31/15 11:17pm

The problem is, you're the only one that disagrees with me

Walter Bellhaven

7/31/15 11:43pm

If I can prove I'm not "the only one" will you admit your definitive statements

Didn't think so

8/1/15 12:21am

No? Youre the only one then?

I thought we went over this already. Are you willing to admit to the idiocy if

You seem to be about the only person on earth that actually thinks Indy

I've seen plenty on here agree with this, certainly a minority but let's not

And you have not said why Indy is better than the Big 12.

How is the Big 12 locations worse than Indy locations? Not trolling but fail to

I think the better recruits is debatable, probably right but not by the margin
