What this season has taught me is that BYU fans don't have the intestinal fortitude for being in a P5 conference

Indy Coug Misunderstood

And most P5 schools either have really good years

Disagree, but your point is a reasonable one.

Archaea

I see your point. I disagree.

Indy is not arguing that P5 membership wouldn't be a great thing for BYU.

Loosen the purse strings and pay what it takes to get Mike Leach here. Coaches

Feel free to donate to paying the coaches what you think they're worth. Also,

It was a suggestion. Stop making excuses. If BYU doesn't want to Shell out it

Man, you get defensive quickly, don't you?

Sure don't. Thanks for playing, though.

BYU couldn't pay enough to get Mike Leach. Also we wouldn't want him

Dissenter

BYU won't let the ROTC Commandant drink coffee at home...Mike Leach isn't coming

untrue. we'd be like utah. energized at every win. because every game has

johnnycarson

10/12/17 9:52am

Different. Utah’s fan base is new money that hasn’t ever won a championship.

gwalker

10/12/17 9:54am

Well you got 1 out of 3 right.

neboutefan

10/12/17 10:01am

I got at least two. Unless Utah has a NC that no one is aware of.

we are closer to the year 2050 than 1984

10/12/17 10:16am

When it comes to the attitude of our fanbase, 1984 has more

gwalker

which is a shame

BlueFrog

In some ways. In others it isn’t. To the extent we keep the dream of future

gwalker

if anyone is using 1984 as proof that BYU can still win the

BlueFrog

10/12/17 10:43am

Anyone saying we can’t doesn’t understand how much of a longshot it was in 1984.

i'm not suggesting that people can't think it can happen. it can. but using

The lower tier P5 schools have a better bowl situation than us I’d take it

I think you're wrong. I think we exhibit lack of intestinal fortitude because

Hawk Talons

Also true

Exactly how I feel. If we were P5, I'd be disappointed with this year, but not

Indi provides lopsided scheds with no improvement in recruiting. Thats the diff

Turbine

indy provides no avenue for success.

johnnycarson

Indy is an exhibition season and a clear path to irrelevance

franklyvulgar

and front loaded with tough road games.....can't succeed. its why no

johnnycarson

10/12/17 9:57am

I would argue this weighed on Bronco too Holmoe needs to schedule smarter

franklyvulgar

10/12/17 10:00am

Good grief...recruiting will not get better in G5.

mobius

10/12/17 10:02am

Not the discussion at all. Thanks.

Turbine

10/12/17 10:11am

did you not mention recruiting or are you just moving goal posts?

mobius

10/12/17 10:18am

P5 recruiting vs Indi. Come on man.

Turbine

10/12/17 10:29am

You are one of the most vocal advocates for G5 and you brought up recruiting

mobius

10/12/17 10:35am

I was highlighting a HUGE diff in P5 membership and Independance. and Im right.

Turbine

10/12/17 10:46am

and the gap is even bigger P5 to G5 so what's your point?

ManicBlue

10/12/17 10:49am

BYU was closer as a G5. There is no backing that it would get worse by

Turbine

10/12/17 12:06pm

Won't deny that, but it will only get worse G5

mobius

10/12/17 10:55am

Yup....very true

Borg

10/12/17 9:54am

Do you expect our coaching and player talent to stay the same? We’d be able to

Duke Silver

This is critical many top tier LDS talent want a P5 opportunity Indy doesn’t fit

Every time I hear something like this, it gives me a good chuckle,

Not to mention that our main rival has access to all those advantages

We aren't in a P5 conference. You really can't make that claim. If we were in

Going P5 "does not equal" going winless.

We'd have down years, but recruiting would sky rocket, especially with Kalani.
