Nope — they went Independent to stop dealing w/ the MWC.
Utah leaving was the final straw.

BYU will not compete staying independent no matter how much you wish they could

FCS would be even better than AAC

If we were in the AAC the past 6 years (since inception) I can only see one year

Won 3 road P5 games in 20 years? For reference Kalani also has 3.

Ok and they are a lot more nationally recognized than BYU at the moment

But they had to paint their field like it was a duck pond to do so.

Well EWU has a red field and most people haven't heard of them

They beat Oklahoma (check), TCU (check), and Arizona (check)

We are P5 when it comes to fan base, attendance, resources, facilities, etc.

Yes I agree my opinion is go G5

Compete for what?

Compete for conference championships and NY6 bowls

Anyone who said that BYU "quit" when they went Independent doesn't have a clue.

I believe BYU went independent to try and keep up with the Utes

I'd agree this was another factor - the MWC leadership & TV deal was a joke

With the high risk of independence, come bad consequences.

Sure — but watch what happens when BYU pulls off two 10 win season in a row.

Is winning 10 games in back to back seasons a realistic hope w/ indy schedules?
BYU Fan
6/26/19 10:05am
No idea. I'd rather be Independent than win fake trophies in a G5 league.
a priori
6/26/19 10:42am
I'd rather win than play fancy exhibition games
BYU Fan

So, you want BYU to have a schedule full of the UNLV, Wyomings, and New Mexicos
a priori
6/26/19 6:09pm
Highly unlikely scenario when we play 5 to 7 P5 opponents per year
