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

ray ray

7/31/15 10:41pm

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

flyusaf

7/31/15 10:53pm

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.

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

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

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

Bronco disagrees. BYU has more in common

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

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.

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.

BengalCougar

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

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

Walter Bellhaven

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