Accept right now that BYU will never receive an invite to a P5 conference. Despite offering the most value in 2011, we were left out. We weren't a legitimate candidate then and we aren't now. There are cultural and religious reasons for our exclusion. Once we all realize that BYU is "peculiar" enough to be viewed as a liability, we will stop hoping for this silly P5 fantasy.
Independence is our future nashty. That is our path until the program is disbanded. We need to figure out how to stay competitive on our current path.
