Not convinced there is greater access in the AAC or MWC versus independence

No you don't, you just have to be one of the 6 highest ranked conference champs

Magathis

Which would require an undefeated or one loss season

If you win the AAC and beat Boise in OOC play, you are essentially guaranteed a playoff bid

I doubt we would play Boise in OOC if we are in the ACC. The same is true for

So why hasn't recruiting changed (except for the worse) in the last 10 years?

Also their best opportunity to hire the best coaches they can

Maybe under the current landscape, but if we are in the AAC with greater access

Gotta be more convincing than that if you want BYU to give up their freedom

Also, more pizza rolls if we join a conference.

Sold, next step is the BoT

Need a bowl tie in as well. Is the Totino's Siesta Bowl name taken already?

Bullet points 4, 5, and 6 are nowhere NEAR truths.

Not all “shots” are created equal.

Truth: Documented evidence that independence improves recruiting.

StalwartBraveTrue

6/10/21 3:29pm

But there's not actually that evidence; if anything evidence says the opposite

I’m talking about direct quotes from Zach, Isaiah, and others.

StalwartBraveTrue

But the end result hasn't been better recruiting

krindorr

6/10/21 4:53pm

Very true. But commentary, bad as it is from a science perspective, skews in

10 seasons before Indy; 1 >61 ranking, 11 seasons after; 1 <61 rankings

krindorr

Absolutely agree. But BYUs move to Indy happened to coincide with their biggest
