Just wanted to know how thoughts. I basically agree with you on your points. I do think BYU can be very successful as an Indy team in football. I do wish they would have that special season to really help football establish itself in Indy

The leg work is in scheduling and TV negotiations. It's taken a while for BYU

Plus they’ve seen that we struggle mightily in these games so that should help scheduling them in the future

I think adding Boise to the AAC makes it clearly a better conference.

I definitely like AAC for bball, but in the current state of CFB, its P5 >> indy

Convince AAC to expand with Boise, SDSU and two others; then sign ND-like deal

A conference that doesn't sponsor football so it wasn't an issue.
