For the optics of the program... from fans to recruits. At least with independence we have the image of being more than a G5. Even if we are sucking it up right now, we need to stick with it and get more talent, better coaching and win games.

More people will care about the MWC champ than the lower eight teams in the PAC 12.

This isn't even close to true.

Okay, do you know who finished 5th or 6th in the PAC last year? Nope. Why? Because nobody cares.

Haha you're in lala land, more people care about lower level P5
