Totally agree. Sure, Tom wants the Y in a P5 conference, and he's worked very hard for it,
but sadly, it's never going to happen.

To be clear... Tom Holmoe wants BYU in a P5 conference. That is the goal. It is achievable. He's working

Any kind of guarantee that the program will actually be funded to compete at a P5 level if/when we get there?

Probably not to your satisfaction, but yes they would fund the program

I can't guarantee it. But there's a lot of history of "doing things the BYU way" and going the cheap route.

No, just talking about paying coaches market level salaries. Investing in equipment, technology, meeting rooms, locker

This seems most likely to me. We end up in a somewhat watered down B12 but have P5 status/access. Would be great...

It would be better than the "BCS" Big East conference those last few years.

That would be great. That is our best bet.

If TX and OU leave, the Big 12 will be curb-stomped

The B12 team who get demoted will sue. Anti-trust issues. Right? I can't imagine a demotion without seriously

Joining a G5 means admitting that P5 will never happen. How long will it take
