I know an assoc. AD of a P5 school. If BYU wants to get into a P5...

Unless football only the biggest thing is play on Sundays. No conference is

True. $ also might open p5 doors post covid. BYU's contributions will weigh more

I assume you are talking about an Arizona pac 12 school
OU Cougar

He’s not in AZ. I think your conclusion might be correct.

I just don’t believe that answer.

Next time, talk to a P5 president.

Covid $ losses could open that expansion door. Our size could get us in it.

If it were up to AD’s, BYU probably would have been in a P5 a long time ago.

False. Nobody wins their way into a P5 league. That’s not how it works. If that were true, we’d have been P5 long ago

Way ahead of Utah.

How you know so much!? You don’t think Utah and TCUs success had anything to do
Pretorian
10/18/20 5:09pm
Had zero to do with it. It was purely because of TV markets
YIsForBrigham
10/18/20 5:18pm
😂😂😂 Utah doesn’t own their own market especially not at that time
Pretorian
10/18/20 5:43pm
Conf. expansion was about # of TVs in the area, not # of people watching a team
cougarmeister
10/18/20 8:54pm
Well that makes more sense, sad
Pretorian
10/19/20 6:07am
Because TCU delivered eyeballs that Texas, Tech, or Baylor weren’t delivering?
The Chelsea Dagger
10/18/20 6:27pm
Yes. The Big12 wanted to make sure they dominated the Texas market and the Pac12 wanted to expand into the SLC market

That still doesn't explain TCU over Houston, Rice, or SMU. If Texas TV market

Exactly , which is kinda pathetic for a school so small vs those guys

Getting drunk with the Texas ad worked for tcu
BYU '80
10/18/20 5:56pm
That. And not be BYU. Those two things would get us in.
bluesloth
10/18/20 1:46pm
Yep, that’s the formula that worked for Rutgers and Maryland. Oh, wait.
chilango
10/18/20 1:50pm
But it worked for Utah and TCU

That’s not really the reason Wyoming and Nevada didn’t get the invite. They

This is just baloney. Colorado didn’t get an offer to the pac 12 because

Does your friend fail to acknowledge the political fallout from a BYU invite?

This is why I am consigned to our indy status. Let's make the most of it.

Something your friend also failed to tell you...
TheLost
10/18/20 2:05pm
That’s not true. No school of a recently expanded league sustained a loss of money. In fact, all of them made a lot
YIsForBrigham
10/18/20 2:09pm
And adding BYU means more $ than adding almost any other non-P5 team.
I'm Dynamite
10/18/20 2:14pm
Recently Expanded? what conference 'recently expanded'?
TheLost
10/19/20 8:40am
Makes no sense. Tell your friend to rethink this
WallaX2

Seems like that's an easy answer so he doesn't have to actually answer

This is simply the stupidest argument of all time #rutgers #maryland

Colorado was pretty lousy when they got invited too
Scooter
10/18/20 3:31pm
And Arizona too, if you go back a little further. Along with South Carolina.
chilango
10/18/20 4:32pm
I think most of you missed the point. If you don’t win, you don’t get in.
ForzaPuma
10/18/20 3:01pm
Also, if you win, you don't get in (for BYU). That's the part you are missing.

BYU won’t get into a P5 conference until the church changes its stance...

Academic freedom is the biggest issue.

False. Religious bigotry.
NorthwestCoug

I wouldn’t call it religious bigotry. Most universities just have very different
Zastava

Yeah, I would. There isn't much else you can call it. "We don't like you

Nah. It’s not bigotry. It’s freedom of association. The church’s and BYU’s...

Ahhhhh- good luck with that. No further comment needed.
Mitty
10/19/20 9:48am
Like it or not, these are the reasons BYU will likely never be invited...

From the point of view of the academics who run elite universities, it is

I don't buy it. No one else admitted to P5 had that requirement.

LOL that has zero to do with it. It's all about the money.
