DN: What’s the best-case scenario for BYU football in the future?
TH: I don’t hide this. I would like to see our football team play in a Power 5 conference.

DN: Which one?
TH: I’ll say there are five conferences, pick one.

DN: Is there one that’s more of a possibility than the others?
TH: No. Here’s one of the things I think is important. We’re in continual conversations with people that are in these conferences. We’re friends, we’re associates, we know each other. It’s not in our best interest to throw BYU seeking admission on their doorstep every week. They shouldn’t have to answer that question all the time. What I try to tell some of our fans who are so distressed is we have to focus on what we have and that we have something really good to offer.

DN: Care to quote odds on your chances?
TH: You’d have to ask MGM.


Also the last question about Honor Code policy is pretty good, too: "Brandon Davies is one of my favorite student-athletes we’ve ever had. But we realized that wasn’t the way to go about it, and some positive changes came out of that. There were a lot of people in the media who said, this is ridiculous, you guys are blasting these kids in public. But then when we changed the policy, and don’t report to the public, now they say, come on, how come you’re not being transparent?"
