This sentiment has got to change.
From the Doug Robinson article
"But when BYU coach Dave Rose was asked if BYU could survive in the WCC without Gonzaga, he said, “Oh, yeah, absolutely. BYU has got a great tradition, a strong tradition. What we bring to the fan base and Cougar Nation is pretty unique. We'll survive. We'll be fine. We'll have to make adjustments, but we'll be fine."
BYU has a national following, a large fanbase and international interest - UNTIL YOU GIVE THEM NO REASON TO BE INTERESTED. This sounds to me like taking fans for granted. This sounds to me like it doesn't matter how the teams perform, people will still pack the MC and show up by the hundreds for games against Santa Clara, etc. This is such a terrible approach to have. Appreciate the fans by doing things to make it better.
I just don't care for the sentiment that we'll be fine. We aren't fine now.
