We’re losing to bad G5 schools. Independence has nothing to do with that

You can love independence all you want, but facts are facts. Indy is killing

It’s not Indy. It’s losing to bad to average G5 teams. Which are still there in a G5 conference.

Bronco was beating G5’s as Indy and recruiting still was stagnant

October 2014 debunks your theory.

Competency trumps everything. You are looking at the wrong variable.

Oh boy..now its Trumps fault 😂

This is the truth, but the problem is not Kalani. Its Independence and TH.

Being in a conference does not solve recruiting unless that conference is P5

Not true. Playing regularly in Texas and Florida could help.

BYU should go back to the MWC, two rivals in that conference.

Ugh, please stop making this argument

Yep, that's the only variable. Case closed.

How does Utah going pac-12 at the same time factor in? What recruiting battles

SMITTY

Totally. I bet all the top athletes are dying to play in the AAC.

Yeah, the stadium, atmosphere, and support at USF were unreal. Eye roll.

Longest period that BYU has gone unranked at the end of the season since prior to Lavell...

Joining a G5 conference WILL. NOT. SOLVE. THE. PROBLEMS

WE HAVE BEEN TRENDING DOWN SINCE THEN bronco went from

franklyvulgar

10/12/19 11:09pm

You state that like I disagree with you. Obviously that's been the trend.

fair Enough, BYU can play p5 as Indy if they want but they belong in a g5

franklyvulgar

10/12/19 11:12pm

If they are a good to great G5 team in their best years, then

Successful to get to 8 wins and a bowl game

Our ceiling is well below our ceiling when we were in the MWC.

2-2 v P5 in 2019 but sure

Turnpike Lane

10/12/19 11:25pm

Demoralizing blowout loss and two field goals away from 0-4 but sure

franklyvulgar

10/12/19 11:27pm

Winless against G5. Hmmm...maybe there's more going on here than your simplistic analysis.

Byron McNertney

How is Boise, USU, UCF and all these other G5’s who beat us and are above our level not only able to win and get ranked.

Coug

10/12/19 11:26pm

BYU built the program on beating g5 teams. Bsu stepped in and stole the BYU play

Players get to walk past conference championship trophies and awards and see the success..

Coug

10/12/19 11:40pm

Too many BYU fans think BYU is better than they are.

idcougarfan

10/12/19 11:57pm

We became too cool for the g5 when we left to Indy like saying to Utah, see

franklyvulgar

10/13/19 12:01am

I do think we needed to go Independence for a time...

Coug

10/13/19 8:58am

Except that was not the justification for going independent.

RealityCheck

10/13/19 10:59pm

Dumb argument. BYU would have to spend millions buying out game contracts.

Richbyu

10/12/19 11:24pm

BYU gets out of independence or drops football.

Not much of a change over the past 15-20 years
