That would be the stupidest thing in the world

Maybe for people that live in Utah the church is just normal part of life and you can take it or leave BYU sports. But outside of Utah, BYU sports teams are something we have in common with other people and is a huge missionary tool. I have lived in Michigan and Washington state for 20 years and BYU sports started more discussion about the church than anything else.

IMO it all started with independence. We need to get on a real conference.

Unfortunately, I think the intention of the BOT is to eventually step out of collegiate sports entirely.

Hope not. That would drive more isolation and further limit common connectivity

The church isn’t going to let the NCAA drive our school policies.

I think the opposite.

The Indy/WCC arrangement is helping achieve those ends.

If the decline is irreversible why are you asking what can be done about it?

It's not that hard if you allow several contexts to be read into it.
