"major" category. And I've said it before and I'll say it again, BYU needs to schedule a minimum of 7 P5 teams each year. A couple of upper tier teams and the P5 dregs, but BYU needs to schedule more P5s

G5 vs Indy conversation jumped the shark long ago. We get it, for what ever

If BYU joins a G5, my interest in BYU FB will diminish significantly.

BYU Losing : G5 Alarmists :: Hurricane : Global warming alarmists

But global warming is a verifiable fact... Like 100% so

It's a step down in perception. Major Independent vs. G5.

Last week TH said that there will be a time

Everyman

The time that byu can no longer compete with the p5 is 2011.

Backcountry

what kind of bull crap is this? BYU competes with P5 RIGHT NOW

Dissenter

Check our record since going indy.

Backcountry

pretty dang close to .500. That's competing

That statement was about money. And he's right.

I would guess, and assume, that if BYU went back to a G5 they would be keeping

AAC won't allow it

Do you know this for sure? I sure don't. Yes it is an assumption, but

TheLoneCougar

9/25/17 2:23pm

We don't know if they would but we know they didn't & don't plan on it

Bobmarleyjr

9/25/17 2:28pm

Again you don't know this as this scenario has never come up, to this point.

TheLoneCougar

Only when Aresco invited BSU & told them they couldn't do it & probably

We will know more about how sustainably Indy is when the ESPN contract ends

BYU/ESPN is extended though 2020

Even Notre Dame makes substantially less media money than the P5

Yes. Since independence, BYU is 2-15

Everyman

9/25/17 10:59am

What's our record against any FBS winning teams in that same stretch (incl. G5)?

boscatar

9/25/17 11:06am

12-8

Everyman

9/25/17 11:22am

That's not how this wirks. I get that Utes and downtrodden BYU

Gentleman Stan

9/25/17 11:56am

Huge national headlines that lead to what exactly?

TheLoneCougar

9/25/17 1:21pm

Fair enough. But then, how does one judge the program?

Everyman

9/25/17 1:29pm

Our schedules are tough enough that our end of season record and national ranking (if applicable) are

Gentleman Stan

9/25/17 1:33pm

By W/L and rankings. That is how all programs are judged.

TheLoneCougar

9/25/17 1:40pm

Out of curiosity, how many teams that we beat would have had winning seasons

cougaman

9/25/17 1:28pm

Major independent?

Ask the media:

Gentleman Stan

The Media?

Cougtruth

9/25/17 1:33pm

ESPN chose BYU-#10 Wisconsin over CSU-#1 Alabama, Tulane-#2Oklahoma

boscatar

9/25/17 2:33pm

Yep, they thought we were the most likely matchup to not be a blow out.

TheLoneCougar

9/25/17 2:37pm

Maybe they thought that after being humiliated we would make a game of it.

Cougtruth

9/25/17 3:18pm

And it went in one ear and out the other. Great points, but the jaded few

G5, Indy, it doesn't matter. BYU athletics are on life support.

Backcountry

9/25/17 9:37am

What about Boise, Houston, etc. then? They

Gentleman Stan

9/25/17 9:43am

They aren't in a great position, but ours is worse.

Backcountry

9/25/17 10:43am

Look at the budgets. BYU is in better financial shape. We also have

Gentleman Stan

9/25/17 12:58pm

Right now they would. In 20 years that won't be the case.

Backcountry

9/25/17 1:14pm

Well, that could be. One way to help that along would be for BYU to drop down to Boise's income level

Gentleman Stan

9/25/17 1:17pm

What would be beneficial for BYU to do is start winning again. One thing Indy

TheLoneCougar

9/25/17 1:27pm

I agree with this: Winning would solve a lot of problems.

Gentleman Stan

9/25/17 1:31pm

In reality BYU's problems have litle to do with conference affiliation and every

Backcountry

Both options suck so why get so worked up either way?

sgriff

No one would be complaining about independence if we were competitive

boscatar

9/25/17 10:02am

They need to water down the future schedules no front loaded with strong P5's
