More Independents?
WVU message board poster suggesting WVU should look at going independent since Big12 is so unstable, says BYU proves it can work. Perhaps he should spend more time on CB.

I wish Air Force would do it. They'd be a great independent partner IMO

You're correct. I would only take a few addition marquee indys.

Can someone explain why ND and BYU don't have an annual game?

Had ND not made the deal with the ACC, then I think that an annual game would have been more likely.

Supply and demand. They have 12 games a year and 128 teams that will play them

Exactly. What is ND's rationale playing for an annual game w/ us? None.

Simple. They want to keep their 8-9 home games/year schedule....

This is the issue. They don't have a clue how independence would impact revenue.

I do think if the playoff expands, that a few more teams might go Independent.

The way Texas handles itself, independence actually seems like their destiny.

WVU has been independent for most of its history (since 1891).

It would be great for BYU if that many teams became Independents again.
