I know an assoc. AD of a P5 school. If BYU wants to get into a P5...

Unless football only the biggest thing is play on Sundays. No conference is

10/18/20 1:35pm

True. $ also might open p5 doors post covid. BYU's contributions will weigh more

I'm Dynamite

10/18/20 1:35pm

I assume you are talking about an Arizona pac 12 school

OU Cougar

10/18/20 1:37pm

He’s not in AZ. I think your conclusion might be correct.

ForzaPuma

10/18/20 3:02pm

I just don’t believe that answer.

DirtyWater

10/18/20 1:39pm

Next time, talk to a P5 president.

Everyman

10/18/20 1:43pm

Covid $ losses could open that expansion door. Our size could get us in it.

I'm Dynamite

10/18/20 1:50pm

If it were up to AD’s, BYU probably would have been in a P5 a long time ago.

che flaco

10/18/20 1:44pm

False. Nobody wins their way into a P5 league. That’s not how it works. If that were true, we’d have been P5 long ago

YIsForBrigham

Way ahead of Utah.

Soy Celeste

10/18/20 4:52pm

How you know so much!? You don’t think Utah and TCUs success had anything to do

Pretorian

10/18/20 5:09pm

Had zero to do with it. It was purely because of TV markets

YIsForBrigham

10/18/20 5:18pm

😂😂😂 Utah doesn’t own their own market especially not at that time

Pretorian

10/18/20 5:43pm

Conf. expansion was about # of TVs in the area, not # of people watching a team

cougarmeister

10/18/20 8:54pm

Well that makes more sense, sad

Pretorian

10/19/20 6:07am

Because TCU delivered eyeballs that Texas, Tech, or Baylor weren’t delivering?

The Chelsea Dagger

10/18/20 6:27pm

Yes. The Big12 wanted to make sure they dominated the Texas market and the Pac12 wanted to expand into the SLC market

YIsForBrigham

10/18/20 6:38pm

Way to go TA&M!!!

BYUALWAYSNUM1

10/18/20 7:17pm

That still doesn't explain TCU over Houston, Rice, or SMU. If Texas TV market

The Chelsea Dagger

10/19/20 10:37am

Exactly , which is kinda pathetic for a school so small vs those guys

Pretorian

10/18/20 8:07pm

Getting drunk with the Texas ad worked for tcu

BYU '80

10/18/20 5:56pm

That. And not be BYU. Those two things would get us in.

bluesloth

10/18/20 1:46pm

Yep, that’s the formula that worked for Rutgers and Maryland. Oh, wait.

chilango

10/18/20 1:50pm

But it worked for Utah and TCU

cougargollum

10/18/20 2:46pm

That’s not really the reason Wyoming and Nevada didn’t get the invite. They

chilango

10/18/20 4:22pm

This is just baloney. Colorado didn’t get an offer to the pac 12 because

HRCougar

10/18/20 1:50pm

Does your friend fail to acknowledge the political fallout from a BYU invite?

franklyvulgar

10/18/20 1:50pm

This is why I am consigned to our indy status. Let's make the most of it.

kiyoshige

10/18/20 2:17pm

There's nothing wrong with hoping

cougargollum

10/18/20 2:52pm

Something your friend also failed to tell you...

TheLost

10/18/20 2:05pm

That’s not true. No school of a recently expanded league sustained a loss of money. In fact, all of them made a lot

YIsForBrigham

10/18/20 2:09pm

And adding BYU means more $ than adding almost any other non-P5 team.

I'm Dynamite

10/18/20 2:14pm

Recently Expanded? what conference 'recently expanded'?

TheLost

10/19/20 8:40am

Makes no sense. Tell your friend to rethink this

WallaX2

10/18/20 2:13pm

Seems like that's an easy answer so he doesn't have to actually answer

SUAVO

10/18/20 2:21pm

This is simply the stupidest argument of all time #rutgers #maryland

Cougeye

10/18/20 2:58pm

Colorado was pretty lousy when they got invited too

Scooter

10/18/20 3:31pm

And Arizona too, if you go back a little further. Along with South Carolina.

chilango

10/18/20 4:32pm

I think most of you missed the point. If you don’t win, you don’t get in.

ForzaPuma

10/18/20 3:01pm

Also, if you win, you don't get in (for BYU). That's the part you are missing.

bald man

BYU won’t get into a P5 conference until the church changes its stance...

Zastava

He was being kind to you.

LEDSFW

10/18/20 5:00pm

He's either ignorant, or didn't want to tell the truth as you say. Nobody likes

Imbyulv

BYU is not getting into a P5.

trigg3r

10/18/20 6:15pm

Academic freedom is the biggest issue.

chilango

10/18/20 6:22pm

False. Religious bigotry.

NorthwestCoug

10/18/20 6:29pm

I wouldn’t call it religious bigotry. Most universities just have very different

Zastava

10/18/20 6:36pm

Yeah, I would. There isn't much else you can call it. "We don't like you

Mitty

10/19/20 8:56am

Nah. It’s not bigotry. It’s freedom of association. The church’s and BYU’s...

Zastava

10/19/20 9:32am

Ahhhhh- good luck with that. No further comment needed.

Mitty

10/19/20 9:48am

Like it or not, these are the reasons BYU will likely never be invited...

Zastava

10/19/20 10:13am

From the point of view of the academics who run elite universities, it is

chilango

10/18/20 6:50pm

False, we'd be in in the 80s or 90s. Rutgers would not

Ryan M

Yep, that’s how Rutgers did it.

truecougster

I don't buy it. No one else admitted to P5 had that requirement.

Assoc. AD over non-Olympic sports, lacrosse, field hockey, e-sports?
