Well if BYU starts out most seasons undefeated then that alone spikes fan

interest big time even if the inevitable "haven't beaten anybody" discussions pop up all over the sports media. So if fan interest is all you want then I have no reason to think G5 isn't a good option. I like the tougher schedules myself, but not if we're going to be overmatched year after year like this, but we're far from a trend.

Yup. Some CBers really hate fans who lose interest as the team loses, but

Except that I don't believe going back to a G5 will help that whatsoever

Things will change over the next 10 years in college football

I can only see it changing in BYUs favor in very few ways.

The only realisitic path would be other teams going Indy.

I agree with all that, except Texas going independent; no one's doing that again

Texas independent?

Texas' schedule would look a lot more like Notre Dame's in my opinion

The problem is in 10 years, they will have had 10 years of P5 revenue.

Basically stay Independent until we can't get a tv contract, then go Independence.

Losing the rivalry game is killing fan interest.

9/21/17 3:07pm

I think fan interest is basically fine. It would take more than losing 3 or 4

9/21/17 3:07pm

Then whats up with our low TV rating against UTah and back to back lower

Joining a G5 conference wont effect fan interest that much IMO...

Meh. If BYU was 2-0 (or 1-1 and scored a touchdown 's LSU) Les sells out for Utah and had BYU beaten Utah

So what you really mean is that losing is unsustainable

Losing is sustainable if you're in the club. Just ask Vandy or Washington St
