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

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.

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

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

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.

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