BYUHgrad All-American

right now than G5 vs. Indy. BYU needs to be allocating more resources into coaching salaries...and G5 conference championships isn’t going to get BYU the added revenue. G5 membership will actually reduce what we are currently struggling with for coaching salaries.

Period.

Ragnar Danneskjold

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

This isn't even close to true.

kotacoug

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

Nor do I know who is in the running for mwc champ.

Um no, independence is not "higher" than G5

If we go G5, we have given up. Might as well go div 2 and join USD's football league.

Of course not. But for BYU, P5 > Indy > G5
