20 years ago. They were a nobody. Now they're a household name with a Heisman, a national championship appearance, high recruiting rankings despite being nowhere near their recruits, are a dream job for some coaches, and are a pro factory.

Why do so many fans think money is the answer?

I disagree.

BYU has $$$, won’t use it to pay market value anyway

My wife thinks it also.

I've been wondering the same - unless more $ equals hiring Andy Reid then

Yeah, I think we’d just be paying Kalani & Co more right now

I think the dream is enough money buys us into a P5. No idea if that’s realistic

I think it probably doesn’t change our head coach situation

BYU ran a $5.1MM surplus in the latest reporting year...

NorCal_Coug

11/12/18 7:45am

Bet Kalani would have hired the exact same guys

More money = BYU becoming the dream spot for every LDS coach

Don’t forget HC enforcement as an impediment to recruiting.

PJMort

11/12/18 7:46am

Probably doesn’t change much imo but sure wouldn’t hurt

More money never hurts. But, BYU can still win with less. There are a ton

Go check their 2019 recruiting class and say that again

BigT801

Who cares about a recruiting class if their coach sucks their recruiting class

More money would have netted Whitt and possibly made Leach want the job, though

vagabonder

Only does those things if BYU is willing to make the investment...

The simple truth about BYU.. (its not one thing)

TheLost

#2 doesn’t belong there IMO

NorCal_Coug

11/12/18 8:26am

We are not P5..

Neither is Notre Dame, but... there they are

Please don’t compare us to ND

Modiolus

I’m not

Zapata

11/13/18 8:58am

Then say not P5. If BYU was winning Independence wouldn’t be an issue.

NorCal_Coug

11/12/18 9:29am

Not being in a P5 conference is huge.

TheLost

11/12/18 10:22am

Did I say otherwise?

NorCal_Coug

11/12/18 11:25am

Not necessarily- coaches won’t come if they don’t think they can get the athlete

Seeing what KWhitt has done with the P5 resources/status,

D.T. Survivor

11/12/18 9:45am

What has he not done?

BigT801

11/12/18 9:55am

Like I said, with the resources he has now,

D.T. Survivor

11/12/18 10:04am

That’s quite the claim.

BigT801

11/12/18 10:07am

It’s an opinion. You wouldn’t be able to back up claims that he would have done

D.T. Survivor

11/12/18 10:17am

No offense taken.

BigT801

11/12/18 10:19am

I don't think he's done a bad job. He's done pretty well.

BYU didn't reach out to Leach as a consultant when he was available. Why do

The number one answer is P5 affiiliation. If you want to improve BYU athletics

We were usually a top 25 team in the lowly MWC and the old WAC.

Yep. Proven model and the only realistically viable approach imo to getting

cougfanz

It isn't THE solution, but it can fix it help out a ton.

Cougar TD

P5 affiliation is the only factor that would make major lasting impact IMO

Modiolus

Would still help.
