Independence vs. MWC

Independence to the death before a return to the MWC. Curious-- once the Utes lose a couple games, don't you no longer

Yes, I think indy is better than MWC for recruiting. Just look at the difference in teams played & TV.

soupie

9/12/17 2:17pm

Don't you think recruits would rather play on ESPN every week rather than a channel no one has including pac12 channels?

They impact the conference all season. When are they officially out? Lose two

BYU can act as a spoiler too. Just ask TX & Neb & Ok.

All those teams can still win their conference. As the Big 12 found out,

Would if they could. Boise has no other choices. They have no other invites & aren't capable of going Indy.

soupie

I don't think many of us look at Boise and feel any envy for their situation.

And you see no connection between Indy and the quality of our teams?

Cougarfan777

I do, but I think our recruiting versus MWC is better.

BYU can point to it's schedule and say for a fact that a recruit can play on some of the biggest stages in the country.

Yes, we get to play 3-4 "brand" games a year, but then we're stuck playing a

Never MWC. I would prefer we convince Boise to join the AAC with us.

BYU has a national fan base. The AAC is far less regional than the MWC.

Didn't BYU have some solid wins vs. Miss. State, Mich State and AZ?

I don't think anyone is saying that these teams are more talented.

Eddie

I dont think the # is significant.

CougarinOZ

9/12/17 3:40pm

They got out because they could make much more money as an independent.

Bullrider

9/12/17 2:59pm

I think TV, $, and conference could all work out if BYU wanted back in.

CougarinOZ

9/12/17 3:46pm

Why do you assume they would even want us? The MWC was more than just

Bullrider

Maybe you're right. However I think they will work with us.

Go down fighting to be either independent or a P5 member

kotacoug

9/12/17 3:47pm

I think your opinion is a minority opinion. Most BYU fans were fans in the MWC

CougarinOZ

9/12/17 3:53pm

Yea, it sucks in November when we have to play MWC teams.

Rhino84

9/12/17 3:55pm

Yeah, because Wyoming almost beat us in the Holiday bowl.

Lesser quality opponent is alright if the games count for something.
