If we continue down the independent path ESPN has us over a barrel. We will not command more money.

Also I can't figure out for the life of me where you get that recruiting is better as an independent.

Right decision, but unsustainable

I think it probably IS sustainable.

So you disagree with Bronco when he said indy wasn't viable long term?

Zak

It is sustainable if we WIN, and win often

Strange argument.

Not saying it is the best strategy, but it isn't not sustainable

Correct.

$$$ as Indy will jump dramatically when current ESPN contract expires

Yes it will especially since espn is hurting financially and losing viewership

If our two options are MWC or unsustainable Indy, why would BYU not ask 4 more $

Bgash

BYU can ask for whatever it wants

shakarocks

8/3/15 10:22am

FOX, CBS, and NBC will bid - depends on B1G contract

What happens if BYU struggles?

shakarocks

8/3/15 10:24am

BYU has a high floor in terms of viewership (especially at 7-5)

This is true. Now way we get that status if we're in the MWC.

They are cost cutting. Not turning down opportunities. BYU is an opportunity.

Bgash

Look at the stands becoming more empty. BYU has to become relevant or ....

I'd be happy to take my chances in an instable B12. At worst, B12 blows up

Coogar2

While keeping all of the cash in the meantime.

Independence is definitely the right move given our options. Of course P5 better

I agree that the P12 is much better for us. I guess I'm just trying to say that

Harrison0Yfan, I agree with you and disagree wtih tippmancoug

Haha, agreed. Then chances of us going undefeated are unfortunately small!

Harrison0Yfan

There is no way an undefeated MWC team gets in over OSU, TCU, Baylor, UO, Bama

Do our CFP chances really increase as part of an Autonomy 5 conference?

boscatar

prelude to 10+ game conf. schedules. Must maintain cohesion when conf > 16
