And please don't compare us to Boise State. Boise State has been a good football program for the past decade and a half but you cannot compare their brand on a national level with BYU's. Boise State could never do what BYU has done with independence. There's a reason ESPN signed an 8 year deal with BYU giving us rebroadcasting rights and scheduling games where BYU plays in NFL stadiums. There's a reason we have our own TV channel capable or broadcasting our own games nationwide. People criticized Bronco a lot for his firesides but those buildings were always packed with people no matter where in the country BYU went.

True, we'll never be an Alabama or an Ohio State but BYU has proven several times over the years that they are just as good as most mid-level P5 teams and in some years they're better.
