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

Huge recruiting boost from Texas and Oklahoma. The biggest boast would be from our current recruiting pool and how they saw us as a destination. I'm not convinced that we would be much more attractive than we are as an Indy to a recruit. You still have to be a BYU guy to want to come to BYU. If you are a California LDS recruit or a Polynesian would you prefer a BIG12 schedule or an Indy with ucla or usc on the schedule. I think an argument can be made both ways.

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

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.

flyusaf

7/31/15 10:59pm

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

ray ray

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

No, not true

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

7/31/15 11:50pm

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

You should be more informed about college football then.

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

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

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.

ray ray

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
